SALDEF’s annual Washington DC SikhLEAD Internship Program is proud to introduce our new interns! This year we have placed fourteen university students in the federal 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 NGOs — 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.
