SikhLEAD 2023 Applications

SikhLEAD 2023 Application Deadline Extended!

Since its inception 11 years ago, the SikhLEAD Internship program has had profound success in transforming civic-minded youth into public leaders. Alumni of the SikhLEAD Internship programs include attorneys, mayors, and high-level officials from across the nation.

As the only Sikh American Internship program aimed at building young leaders, the SikhLEAD Internship program offers Sikh youth a hands-on experience working at state and local government agencies through the Regional Internship and in national offices through the DC Internship.

From providing interns with highly competitive internship placements and leadership skills, to increasing access to a diverse network of professionals, the SikhLEAD Internship program takes a three pronged approach of education, experience and exposure to develop well rounded leaders that will be able to tackle the issues of tomorrow.

Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity. The application deadline for both of the SikhLEAD Internship programs has now been extended to January 31, 2023.
