TVCDC’s values stem from Lakota spiritual and community-based roots. They value the idea that sustainable communities must consider social needs, environmental responsibility, and economic vitality. TVCDC has created an Ecosystem of Opportunity through nine different initiatives: Regenerative Community Development, Workforce Development, Youth Leadership Development, Social Enterprise, Housing and Homeownership, Regional Equity, Lakota Language Revitalization, Food Sovereignty, and an Education Initiative. These initiatives are meant to impact, and ultimately transform, the systems and structures of colonization and oppression for Lakota people, and particularly, on what is now defined as the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
