We are Hiring a ‘Regenerative Tourism Catalyst’
Tourism. Southeast Alaskans both love it and hate it. We at the Sustainable Southeast Partnership (SSP) believe firmly, that local control is the key ingredient in ensuring the former. Our partners Sealaska and Allen Marine are hiring for a ‘Regenerative Tourism’ Catalyst to work across our network. SSP wants to be proactive, supporting our rural communities to cultivate meaningful tourism that puts the community first and ensures that traditional cultures, lands and waters are celebrated and respected while seizing the many opportunities the Visitor Industry offers rural Alaska.
Who We Are
The Sustainable Southeast Partnership (SSP) is inclusive and diverse. Our partnership includes international, regional and community-based organizations as well as representatives from tribal governments in the rural Southeast Alaskan villages of Kake, Klawock, Sitka, Kasaan, Hydaburg, Hoonah and Yakutat. Please visit our Staff Page to meet some of the people behind the partnership.
Below is a shortlist of core partners. When we work, we draw from the perspectives and resources of many additional organizations including cities, schools, and federal land managers.
