Dedicated to the Promotion of Professional Independent Facilitation
About Cal-IF
Our Mission
Our mission is to professionalize Independent Facilitation (IF) and create an environment that oversees and promotes ethical Independent Facilitation practices. We want to ensure Self-Determination Program participants receive the expertise and support needed to access the program across the state of California.
- At Cal-IF, we are committed to building a diverse community of well-trained, value-driven, professional independent facilitators through:
- Certification and Credentialing Standards
- Professional Code of Conduct and Ethical Practices
- Mentorship and Guidance
- Promotion of the Profession
- Ongoing Professional Development
People with disabilities have the right to self-determined lives, and Cal-IF is committed to ensuring they have qualified independent facilitators to serve them responsibly.
