The Tibetan Youth Congress (TYC) is a worldwide Organisation of Tibetans united in our common struggle for the restoration of complete independence for the whole of Tibet, which includes the traditional three provinces of U-Tsang, Do-toe, and Do-med. An independent Organisation, founded on October 7, 1970, with a written constitution and its own plans and programmes, TYC has emerged as the largest
and most active non-governmental Organisation of Tibetans in exile. TYC does not subscribe to any particular political ideology nor to any particular religion or religious” sect. Being a national movement, activities of TYC is not restricted just to its members, but also receive the active support of all Tibetans – young and old, men and women, monks and lay. TYC has 87 regional branches in India, Nepal, Bhutan, Norway, Canada, France, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, USA, and Europe. Every regional branch has 5-10 Regional Working Committee members elected by the grass-root members, who supervise and lead the activities of the respective branches. The regional branches, besides initiating their own plan of activities, undertake the recruitment of the members and also implement the resolutions of the Annual Working Committee Meeting. The meeting is attended by all the presidents and general secretaries of the regional branches and the members of the Central Executive Committee. The activities of the regional branches are supervised by the Central Executive Committee. Of the 87 chapters, we are the regional branch based in Toronto, Canada, among a population of over 7000 Tibetans. The chapter was started on October 2, 2002 by a dedicated and spirited group of Tibetans with shared ideology of preservation and freedom. Now into the 9th term, current members are:
