Applications Open for SikhLEAD Internships!
In the past four years, SALDEF has placed over 25 interns on Capitol Hill, at the White House, and across Washington, D.C. These competitive positions have given students and recent graduates unique opportunities to understand the workings of the government while networking with the most powerful people in the country.
SALDEF’s SikhLEAD Internship Program is an 8-12 week D.C.-based program which allows students, graduate students, and recent graduates to 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.

(NOTE: Applicants are encouraged to have a resume vetted by a career counselor or career development office; all applications submitted after the midnight deadline EST on January 26, 2015 will NOT be considered.)
