The Special Needs Inclusion Project (SNIP) provides free training for programs funded by the San Francisco Department of Children, Youth and their Families (DCYF) on inclusion and disability-related topics. They offer 8 workshops per year for citywide programs and can customize training for your sites. Each workshop description refers to specific SF AFA Core Competencies. These are the San Francisco After School for All Core Competencies for line staff and supervisors which were adopted by the AFA Council in 2010, which can be found here.
A commitment to learning
GM Message
“RPD University is our commitment to giving our team the tools and training we need to grow professionally, to keep current with best practices and new thinking, and to remain innovative and responsive as we serve the public. RPD-U provides skill development for our workforce to succeed and opportunities for personal growth. When each of us is exposed to different thinking and new ideas, we gain competence, perspective, and judgment—so that all of us benefit. I hope these learning opportunities and programs inspire and connect us to our profession, to each other, and to the park users we serve.”
— General Manager Phil Ginsburg
