SALDEF Again Training Emerging Leaders

For the sixth consecutive year, SALDEF will be training emerging leaders in the SikhLEAD Leadership Development Program (LDP). Starting this weekend in Los Angeles, we will support 16 diverse, motivated, and entrepreneurial group of young Sikh Americans as they prepare for a lifetime of community leadership.
SALDEF humbly asks for your continued financial support for this unique leadership program that develops the next generation of Sikh American changemakers. saldef-sikhlead-group-photo-2013This first session of the program will provide SikhLEADers with a changemakers’ tool-kit that includes strategies for: successfully influencing policy-makers; organizing diverse communities; and working with media to accurately represent Sikh Americans as an integral part of the fabric of our nation. After returning to their communities for the next several months to complete a Community Leadership Project, SikhLEADers will re-convene in Washington, DC in October to further their training.
