What staffing is required to operate a SFF program?
One person who has experience administrating a program like SFF would be assigned by the lead agency to act as the SFF coordinator. The coordinator’s role includes SFF promotion, participant recruitment, session coordination, meal planning, program maintenance and troubleshooting etc. Four SFF program facilitators lead the sessions, two facilitators for the child sessions, and the second pair for the parent sessions. All four facilitators come together to implement the family sessions. Of the four facilitators, two facilitators lead the family session each week, while the remaining two offer support during the session. A childcare worker is needed to provide childcare for children less than seven years of age. If available, volunteers form part of the staffing team for matters like meal preparation and transportation.
