Roots of Success was thrilled to offer an all-day instructor certification training for staff representing various San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) agencies on December 7, 2011. Agencies that sent staff to be certified included Asian Neighborhood Design, Community Housing Partnership, Friends of the Urban Forest, McCormack Baron Ragan, Green Streets, Jewish Vocational Service, SF Conservation Corps, Young Community Developers, and the San Francisco Department of the Environment. The training was an incredible opportunity for staff from these agencies to build professional facilitation skills while learning how the Roots of Success curriculum can enhance their job training services, and also provided these agencies with a rare chance to discuss how they are working together to enhancing economic opportunity and justice for all San Franciscans. We can’t wait to see how this vibrant new Community of Practice is able to implement the Roots of Success curriculum into their programs…
