Start a Circle

Circles are the heart of BU — local communities of birth workers who meet regularly, make decisions together, and support each other. Starting a circle is a commitment to building something meaningful.

What You'll Need

  • 👥
    5 founding members minimum

    Including yourself, you need at least 5 committed birth workers to start.

  • 📅
    Commitment to meet regularly

    Circles meet at least monthly. You'll coordinate the first few meetings.

  • 🤝
    Willingness to steward

    As founder, you'll serve as initial steward until the circle elects someone.
