INTERNSHIPS AT ICT

 

ICT’s DC office is looking for energetic and enthusiastic interns to assist in project-based work. ICT has three internship terms: Spring (Jan-April), Summer (May-August), and Fall/Winter (September-December). Interns are expected to work 10-20 hours per week, with a stipend of $20/hour. Our preference is for interns who can work in-person in ICT’s DC office, but hybrid schedules are also possible. We will only consider fully remote interns in special circumstances. Interns will be assigned tasks based on their interests, professional background and experience, and the needs of ICT.

Potential intern projects include:

  • Preparations for Tibet Lobby Day (spring)
  • Communications and social media activities
  • Implementation of the Tibetan Youth Leadership Program (summer)
  • Outreach and Engagement to Tibetan and other communities
  • Government advocacy

Application deadlines

Spring: Dec. 1
Summer: April 1
Fall/Winter: July 15

To apply, please send your resume and cover letter to [email protected]. Please clearly indicate in your email the internship term for which you are applying, the range of hours you have available, and whether you would be able to work in-person for those hours at our Washington, DC office or a mix of in-person and remote.

About ICT

The International Campaign for Tibet was established in 1988 out of a clear need: the Tibetan people urgently required the support of the international community. The Dalai Lama had recently presented the historic Five Point Peace Plan on Capitol Hill, and the response received to his visionary speech in Washington, DC was tremendous. The Tibetan advocacy community knew that it was time to create a permanent presence in Washington. The International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) is a non-partisan, public interest group dedicated to promoting human rights and democratic freedoms for the people of Tibet.

ICT believes that governments and people around the world need accurate information on current conditions in Tibet; that Tibetans are a “people” under international law and have the right to self-determination; that Tibet is an occupied country which has a distinct language, culture and religion; and, that dialogue between Tibetans and Chinese is integral towards finding a solution to the situation in Tibet.
