At ITD we are very excited to be launching our new website. After months of preparation and introspection - examining our core values, considering how we are organized and envisioning the difference we want to make in the world - we are delighted with our new look.

After spending the majority of 2020 navigating a global pandemic at ITD we are reminded more than ever the significance of our core mission – to build profound cross-cultural understanding. To that end we are proud of our 35 year legacy of training and constructing knowledge with transformative leaders across the globe that are committed to social justice, civic engagement, sustainability and making positive change in their lives and their communities. We are deeply appreciative of our long term partnership with the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs that has enabled ITD to connect with thousands of individuals from around the world to develop their leadership and help build opportunities globally. All of us at ITD are constantly inspired by our talented and motivated alumni; despite the challenges of the past year, they give us hope for a better world.

Despite the limitations brought on by COVID we continue to do what we can to support our students, scholars, educators and fellows across the globe by developing virtual tools including webinars, seminars and online modules. Together with our amazing alumni, partners, and sponsors, ITD works thoughtfully to serve our program participants and alumni who seek to benefit their communities and lead others towards lasting positive change.

Please take the time to explore our new website. We encourage you to check back often as we will be frequently updating our "current activities" section. For 2021 we look forward to continuing our high quality virtual programming while keeping alive our hope for the return to the in-person programming that is so essential to our mission.
