International Campaign for Tibet
Amplifying Tibetan Voices
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
The International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) was established to support the Tibetan people's struggle for human rights and democratic freedoms. From a handful of dedicated individuals, ICT has grown into an international organization empowered by the vision of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
It is ICT's belief that the survival of Tibet's ancient wisdom culture is of profound importance to the very survival of the global community. At this urgent and critical moment in Tibetan history, we commit our energies and best efforts towards a peaceful solution for Tibet secured in the dignity of the Tibetan people.

Tibetan Youth Leadership Program
The TYLP aims to nurture youth leaders who will not only become the leaders of the Tibetan community in the future, but who will also act now to convert their energy and convictions about issues affecting Tibet into a powerful force for activism and change. Through workshops, discussions, and hands-on activities, participants are taught the art of leadership. The training is specifically geared to meet the needs of the Tibetan community for a core group of young, articulate Tibetan leaders.

We've worked with and been guided by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and have provided support to Tibetans in exile. And we've worked with the U.S. and international governments to advance Tibet related legislation and support.
