• To promote, foster and encourage programs for the general welfare, education and social benefit of our people;
• To establish and maintain education, cultural, economic and recreational programs for our people;
• To eliminate barriers of discrimination of race, religion and gender;

SCIC’s human service delivery system strives to meet the needs of the American Indian community and provide services for the urban Indian population in this area. SCIC has a staff of 35 with master’s level counselors, educators, and managers. Board members and staff also serve on standing committees and put on an annual Pow Wow as a major fundraiser for the year.
