Chardi Kala: The Sikh American Spirit

SikhLEAD Internship Program SikhLEAD Internships seek to develop leadership skills, encourage political and civic engagement, and foster interest in public service careers by providing the unparalleled experience of interning in a congressional office or federal agency. Internships allow students to explore a potential career track, create a network of professional and personal contacts, develop real-world skills, and build confidence. Throughout the duration of the internship, SALDEF hosts a series of special programming and opportunities, such as leadership workshops, networking events, and cultural outings in DC, to further contribute to the development of the next generation of leaders. 28
