Launched in 1997, the Ngawang Choephel Fellows Program is a two-way economic empowerment program designed to promote mutual understanding, enhance leadership and professional skills, and build lasting partnerships between, and amongst, mid-level leaders from Tibetan communities in China and the United States. The defining element of the program is a minimum four-week U.S.-based exchange which will provide Fellows with opportunities to discuss and share best practices for initiating and supporting inclusive and sustainable community and/or organizational initiatives.
