Northwest Georgia Breastfeeding Coalition and Georgia Breastfeeding Coalition present the 8th Annual 5K/10K on October 1, 2022. Proceeds of this event will go to both coalitions in celebration of World Breastfeeding Week 2022 with the theme "Step Up for Breastfeeding: Educate and Support".
This race raises funds to help coordinate the global World Breastfeeding Week campaign that aims to inform, anchor, engage, and galvanize action on breastfeeding and related issues. In the end, our breastfeeding families are given the resources and support they need to make informed decisions on promoting the health of their children.
2022 Breastfeeding Awards Nomination!
Please nominate supportive organizations for the 2022 awards, presented annually in August during Breastfeeding Month. This year we are especially hoping to recognize businesses who support their lactating employees and early learning and childcare centers that welcome and support breastfeeding families.
Please note that these awards are NOT for lactation-focused businesses, organizations or health professionals.
The Georgia Breastfeeding Coalition along with our partner, Northwest Georgia Breastfeeding Coalition, is pleased to announce our 2022 Spring IBCLC Exam Scholarship Program. We are offering a total of five $500 scholarships to candidates that are applying to sit the IBCLC exam for initial certification (no recertification scholarships will be awarded).
Before you begin your application, please ensure you are prepared and qualified to sit the exam this spring. In order to apply to sit the exam, you must have completed coursework in 14 designated health science subjects (or be a recognized health professional), completed 95 hours of lactation specific education, and complete 300-1000 lactation specific clinical hours (depending on which pathway you choose).
