Discover Sikh Heritage
Participants explore the rich history of Sikhism, from the life and teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji to the formation of the Khalsa. Through engaging workshops, storytelling, and interactive activities, youth gain a deeper understanding of Sikh values, historical milestones, and the inspiring lives of Sikh heroes.
Connect with Gurbani & Spirituality
Our program helps youth build a personal connection with Gurbani and Sikh spiritual practices. Through guided reflections, Simran sessions, and discussions on key shabads, participants learn how Sikh teachings can guide everyday life and nurture inner peace, resilience, and compassion.
Lead Through Seva & Sangat
Youth actively engage in Seva (selfless service) and teamwork, strengthening their role within the Sikh community. Through community projects and collaborative activities, participants experience the power of Sangat (community) and develop leadership, empathy, and a spirit of service.
Build Confidence & Identity
The Academy provides a supportive space for young Sikhs to express themselves, build confidence, and embrace their Sikh identity proudly. With opportunities for public speaking, creative projects, and peer discussions, participants develop the skills to represent Sikh values in today’s world.
