The California Association of Independent Facilitators (Cal-IF) is committed to supporting a professional community of Independent Facilitators who demonstrate knowledge, professionalism, ethical practice, and a commitment to the principles of California’s Self-Determination Program.
Cal-IF uses an internal application and review process to identify Independent Facilitators who demonstrate the experience, knowledge, and professional practices expected of Cal-IF members. Membership also requires a commitment to follow the Cal-IF Code of Ethics, which establishes expectations for professional conduct, integrity, person-centered practice, confidentiality, transparency, and accountability.
Before submitting your application, please review the Cal-IF Code of Ethics available on our website. By applying for membership, you are confirming your willingness to uphold these standards as a Cal-IF member.

If you are interested in joining Cal-IF, please complete the application below as thoroughly as possible. The information you provide will help us understand your experience, qualifications, and approach to Independent Facilitation.
