Join us in conversation with Harsimran Kaur, Executive Director of United Sikh Movement, and Simran Jeet Singh as they explore how Sikh leadership begins with belonging. From campus sangat and student support to faith-rooted professional development and long-term leadership pipelines, this conversation looks at what it takes to build the national ecosystem our youth deserve — one where young Sikhs don’t just survive the formative years, but emerge from them as grounded, purpose-driven changemakers ready to carry Gurmat into every arena of life.

This webinar is a part of the Sikhs in Action webinar series co-presented by the Sikh Foundation and UC Santa Cruz Sarbjit Singh Aurora Endowed Chair in Sikh and Punjabi Studies.
