CITC empowers more than 12,000 Alaska Native People each year by supporting resilient families, equipping job-seekers with the skills to attain self-sufficiency, providing a new beginning for those overcoming addiction and preparing our young people to lead us into the future. Together, we can build strong, resilient communities.
