Join Us
Thank you for your interest in joining the Doulas Association of Southern California (DASC). We are an organization striving to meet the professional needs of all birthworkers, and we are dedicated to providing a supportive community for all members. DASC offers companionship, education, networking, and professional affiliation. Together we learn, grow, and support families.
Upon becoming a member of DASC you will have access to our private Facebook group -- a hub for peer to peer support from doulas and birth workers all across Southern California. From there, as well as through the membership portal, you can find a list of upcoming events and monthly circle meetings (where local doulas meet to share resources and build community). Additional membership benefits include discounts on educational events, resources, and networking. We look forward to getting to know you and welcoming you to our community.

- Regular Meetings, including speakers and discussion
