Meet the new DPN Librarian!

There is a new face on the DPN team and her name is Cristina Mitra. She is the new DPN Librarian. Her main job is to help you -- the San Francisco One Stop staff. Each Friday, you'’ll receive a "Resource of the Week" email in your inbox from Cristina that will point to to this blog. On the blog, you will find an organization, program, campaign, or service that might help you better serve job-seeker with disabilities. Usually, this will be a resource from the San Francisco Disability Resource Library (sfDRL), which you should be able to access.

She will also help you by:

• Keeping the sfDRL up-to-date with the most current info while adding new resources every week. Have a question about the database? Cristina can help!
• Visiting the One Stop centers each month with the DPN and also outreaching to employers, job-seekers, non-profits, and other organizations.
• Helping coordinate trainings on a wide range of topics to help you do the best job possible.
  

She will be in the office part-time from Wednesday through Friday each week. Contact her at disabilityprogramnavigator@gmail.com or 415-544-0124. She is also bilingual in Spanish.
