The SikhLEAD DC 2022 Internship Program brought together 9 talented students from across the country to intern at our nation’s Capital. Internship placements included the White House, Congress, Senate and EEOC. Interns were able to gain invaluable skills and network with Congressional members including participating in a reception with members of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus.
SikhLEAD Regional 2022 Internship Program selected 66 students across the nation to participate in the program this summer from June 11th- August 13th. These SikhLEADers were placed in coveted local, state government and partner organization Internships. The program also hosted virtual sessions for the SikhLEADers every Saturday inviting esteemed speakers such as Senator Manka Dhingra, Rep Ranjeev Puri, Councilman Mikey Hothi for Sikh Elected Officials Panel, LTC Kamal Kalsi and Kulvir Singh (SikhRI). In addition to this, professional development sessions were conducted and all the SikhLEADers were connected with Sikh Mentors from their respective fields of career interest to provide them with guidance and mentorship.
