The purpose of SikhLEAD is to inspire, train, and support a diverse, motivated and entrepreneurial group of young Sikh Americans as they prepare for a lifetime of community engagement and community leadership. SikhLEAD is an initiative of the Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund (SALDEF).

The SikhLEAD Internship Program partners with congressional offices and federal agencies to provide Sikh American college students with enriching internship experiences. Through this program, students are afforded first-hand perspective into the functioning of the federal government and legislative process.

The Leadership Development Program is a transformational program to empower Sikh American youth and develop effective leaders committed to exploring and realizing both their personal potential and that of the Sikh American community.
