Our Mission, Vision & Values
Our Mission
To work in partnership with Our People to develop opportunities that fulfill Our endless potential.
We envision a future in which all Our People—especially Our youth, the stewards of our future—have access to vast opportunities, and have the ability, confidence, and courage to advance and achieve their goals, infused with an unshakeable belief in Our endless potential.
Our Values
Our People have always understood that no one lives in isolation—individuals depend on each other, as well as themselves. In a world that presents both challenges and opportunities, we must work together, and be resilient. Each person has a responsibility to themselves, to their families and to their community. We need to treat each other with respect. These cultural values are summarized in the organizational values of CITC, which guide us in everything we do:
We are interdependent. We trust one another and work as a team toward our common goals. We recognize that each of us has an equally important role in the community, and that we are stronger together than as individuals.
We are resilient. We look to the future with steadfast optimism, hope and faith in Our People. We adapt to change with persistence and determination. We engage in creative solutions and endure adversity with courage.
We are accountable. We are ultimately responsible for fulfilling our mission and serving Our People. We are reliable, work with integrity and lead by example. We honor our obligations and correct our mistakes.
We are respectful. We treat one another with dignity and kindness. We value and embrace our diversity, respect ourselves and understand boundaries. We approach each experience with gratitude and humility.

Cook Inlet Tribal Council (CITC) stands for people, partnership and potential. We are a tribal nonprofit organization helping Alaska Native and American Indian people residing in the Cook Inlet Region of southcentral Alaska reach their full potential.
We believe that when we work together, we can help each other develop our strengths and talents, and become successful and self-sufficient individuals, families and communities.
Since its inception in 1983, CITC has grown from a fledgling, grass-roots operation with only three employees, to one of the nation’s preeminent culturally responsive social-service organizations serving nearly 12,000 people annually, and employing more than 400 passionate and caring individuals.
An array of support services includes education, employment and training services, workforce development, family preservation, and support for individuals recovering from addiction, substance abuse, or incarceration.
If you’re talented and energetic, innovative and creative, and have the drive to make a difference, then consider a career at Cook Inlet Tribal Council.
