SALDEF’s annual New Jersey SikhLEAD Internship Program is proud to introduce our new interns! This year we have placed nine New Jersey high school and university students in New Jersey state government and non-profit positions.
These internships provide students with skills that are essential for becoming community leaders that can foster social change. From Senators to Representatives to Assemblymen— the offices that the SikhLEAD interns will be working in will give Sikh American youth the opportunity to learn and gain hands-on experience, while the offices themselves get to engage, interact, and learn about the Sikh religion and culture.
