Last year, SALDEF asked Sikh American youth if they wanted a leadership training program that gave them the opportunity to spend the summer on Capitol Hill while working with a member of Congress – and they responded enthusiastically! We received an overwhelming number of applicants for the SikhLEAD Internship Program. In order to accommodate the growing needs of our talented Sikh American applicant pool we need YOUR help. We are asking you to help SALDEF achieve it’s Vaisakhi fundraising goal of $50,000 through our “Fill the Capitol” campaign. Your contributions over the next 30 days will directly support youth development and ensure that the next generation of Sikh Americans is well equipped to move our community forward!
