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.
