Community Accountability
Built from our Community
The Coastal Interpretive Center is an organization built from our community and acting with our community. As such, it’s imperative that the CIC is transparent about our intentions, collaborative in our actions, and promotes accountability across all our operations.

Community Accountability at the CIC
Our efforts to increase what we’re calling Community Accountability are in their beginning stages. We invite you to join us as we work to demonstrate an increasingly dynamic organization that incorporates feedback and prioritizes actions within the following formula:
Community Education + Community Stewardship → Community Belonging
On this page you’ll find an evolving library of documents that demonstrate CIC programs, finances, and plans to make ourself more accountable to the people and partners we serve.
