Details

The Black Birth Project is committed to transforming the narrative of reproductive healthcare in Canada and supporting Black patients. We are planning to host a Black Perinatal Health expo to provide access to resources and families in the Greater Toronto Area.


We would like to collaborate with students to plan this event event to help meet our goals.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Familiarizing themselves with our mission, values and goals.
  • Estimating and establishing the budget of the community event with actual quotes from vendors
  • Creating a plan of action and a detailed breakdown of tasks for volunteers to complete at the event.
  • Assisting in marketing and promoting our event through content creation

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

  • Recommending improvements for future community events.


Deliverables

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Understanding of our mission, values and goals
  • Establishment of the event budget
  • Creation of a plan of action

The Black Birth Project is a community research and advocacy organization focused on improving reproductive health outcomes for Black people in Canada. Our mission is to harness the narratives of Black birthing persons to support service improvements in reproductive healthcare spaces. By providing education to both patients and providers, we plan to support Black birthing people in taking charge of their health while also reducing instances of provider bias.
