We offer trainings to help employees develop transgender inclusive workplaces, create affirming services, and build knowledge on transgender, gender non-conforming and intersex (TGNCI) community.
At this time, our office only offers gender inclusivity trainings for SF city employees only. Click the button below to request a training session for you and your team.
Our standard trainings are 2 hours long, which includes a short break. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate requests for shorter trainings.
We currently offer in-person and online trainings to SF city employees. Fill out our request form to get in touch with our staff, and we can discuss a training plan that works best for you and your team.
We want to make our trainings as accessible as possible for all City Departments and teams. For this reason, we currently offer trainings at no cost to your Department.
Our minimum training capacity is 20 attendees, and our maximum is 40. If your team is smaller, we will happily accommodate to meet your needs. If your team is larger, we will ask that you split the group into multiple live training sessions. If fewer than 20 people are at the training by the start time, we will unfortunately have to cancel the session and reschedule at a time when the minimum attendance is met. Please note that we do not offer recordings of the trainings or make-up sessions.
Please ensure that every member of your team has completed the preliminary assignments and registered for the session 7 days before the training date. Also, our live online trainings are highly interactive, so please make sure each attendee has access to a device with a camera and a microphone.
At this time, we only offer trainings to City and County employees. We hope to expand this once our office has more capacity.
Our office recently launched the transgender 101 online module for SF city employees. This online course is accessible through the My Learning section of SF city employees portal. We also require live training participants to complete the module as a preliminary assignment prior to the scheduled training session.

The Office of Transgender Initiatives (OTI) offers in-person and live online training sessions to City and County employees, teams and Departments. Our trainings cover in-depth perspectives on working with transgender and non-binary communities. During our time together, we facilitate conversations about how gender affects us individually, practice skills relevant to your team’s unique needs, and learn how to build more welcoming and affirming environments for transgender, gender non-conforming, and intersex (TGNCI) people.
