Seattle Midwifery School Needs Your Help
Midwifery and doula care are gaining recognition throughout North America. However, much still needs to be done to ensure that every childbearing woman has access to midwifery and doula care.

Seattle Midwifery School strives not only to train midwives and doulas, but also to promote the midwifery model of care as the standard of care for birthing women. As a non-profit organization, we rely on volunteer support and financial contributions from friends like you.

Here are a few things you can do to help:

Be an Advocate!
Spread the word about the importance of midwifery and doula care. Tell your friends, family, health care providers, and elected representatives about the benefits of the midwifery model of care. More information.

Volunteer!
Volunteers are the pulse of Seattle Midwifery School. They serve as board and committee members, project managers, administrative supporters and artistic contractors. Volunteers make time commitments that range from one-time-only projects to weekly support.  Email us to express your interest in volunteering, or print out this form and mail it in.

Make a tax-deductible contribution!
Your donation can help change the face of maternity care. SMS relies on community contributors for more than 25% of its annual operating budget. These donations fuel our work as national advocates for midwifery and doula care and allow us to continue to provide the highest quality educational programs.  To donate on-line, click on the button below.
