These internships incorporate two components – the traditional internship and the leadership development provided by SALDEF. Participants explore a potential career track, create a network of professional and personal contacts, develop real-world skills, and gain experience that will open doors in the future. Additionally, each weekend SALDEF coordinates leadership development training, team building activities and weekend adventures with the cohort.

Time is running out to apply!  

These competitive positions have advanced the Sikh policy agenda and given students or recent graduates unique opportunities. The application deadline is Sunday, January 28, 2018.
