This week’s 2019 SikhLEAD Summer Internship Spotlight features Selena Kaur Grover! Selena interned with Faith in Public Life. Here is what she had to say about her SikhLEAD Experience:
My name is Selena Grover, I am from the suburbs of Chicago and I am currently a student at the University of Michigan.
What have you learned from your time in DC?
I have learned how to be independent and how to take initiative. Planning Langar on the Hill with a group of fourteen kids was tough when everyone has different opinions. But, we really learned how to work together and make compromises to work towards our shared goal of hosting a successful event.
What was the highlight of your internship?
The people I got to meet. The people from Faith in Public Life, SALDEF office, and SikhLEAD program all came from very different backgrounds and they all have different stories. And, it has been very interesting to see how people’s backgrounds have led them to where they are today and what has caused everyone to be united under this mission of social justice here in D.C.
