Current Scholarship Opportunity - breastfeedla

In partnership with BreastfeedLA, through funding by The California Commission on the Status of Women & Girls, we are announcing eight (8) CALIFORNIA residents to take The B.L.A.C.K Course 45-hours training in 2022. This funding targets people who are entering the lactation and birth work field and who are in need of lactation specific educational hours that qualify towards IBCLE requirements. Once completed, students will be certified as a Certified Blactation Educator (CBE) or Certified Blactation Accomplice (CBA).  

BreastfeedLA has been a strong supporter and advocate for The B.L.A.C.K. Course since our birth. We are thankful for the strategic planning and consideration that BreastfeedLA has shown in providing this funding through The California Commission on the Status of Women & Girls for our students and course.

For those who are in need of their remaining IBCLE required educational hours, consider BreastfeedLA's advance training after taking The B.L.A.C.K. Course.
