CIRI’s Shareholder + Descendant Programs department endeavors to connect with and empower our diverse population of Shareholders and Descendants—across age ranges, cultures and geographies.
NEXT GEN DAY
Monday, Jan. 19
CIRI Shareholders and confirmed Descendants aged 10-13 are invited to immerse themselves in Alaska Native culture—including arts and crafts and sampling traditional foods—while learning more about their Corporation and the opportunities available to them. All attendees will receive a custom culture box! This is an in-person opportunity; a virtual program will be held at a later date. Application deadline: Jan. 12, 2026. For more information and to apply, visit the CIRI website.
SUMMER INTERNSHIP
June–August 2026
A CIRI internship is more than a summer job—it’s a customized opportunity that expands your professional network, strengthens your connection with Alaska Native culture and heritage, and provides hands-on, real-world skills and experience. CIRI Shareholders and confirmed Descendants aged 18+ who are current college/vocational students or recent graduates are invited to apply. This is a paid opportunity with a competitive hourly wage and additional living stipend. The application period will run Jan. 23–March 29, 2026. For more information and to apply, visit the CIRI website.
OTHER OPPORTUNITIES
Other upcoming programs and opportunities include the Stellar Space Experience and the CIRI Participation Committee. More details will be made available in early 2026. Follow us on social media and visit the CIRI website for the most up-to-date information.
