Info Session for OPEC Grant

Portland New Family Fund is thrilled to invite the Latinx doula community serving Multnomah County to a virtual info session to learn more about a paid opportunity for Latinx doulas to support families in the community.  Please share it widely! 

Portland New Family Fund (PNFF) and Build Your Nest (BYN) are collaborating under an OPEC (Oregon Parenting and Education Collective) grant to train and certify doulas to become BYN Navigators, helping Latinx families access the resources and support they need to thrive. 

 

What is Build Your Nest (BYN)?
BYN is a program dedicated to empowering pregnant and postpartum families by connecting them with critical resources, offering guidance, and providing ongoing support. BYN Navigators help families with postpartum planning and navigate services like healthcare, education, and community support networks—ensuring families feel supported and informed throughout their journey.

Why Join?

  • Free Training/Certification: You will receive specialized BYN Navigator training at no cost to you.

  • Stipend for Completion: You will be paid a stipend upon completing the certification.

  • Paid Navigator Role: Once certified, you can provide navigation services to Latinx families in Multnomah County as a paid role.  Doulas who complete the training will be paid to work with 1-3 families through this grant.

When: Feb 6, 2025 09:30 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada) via Zoom
