Basics of Sikhi Canada’s Internship Program 2022 is an exciting opportunity for students and professional young adults to get involved. Basics of Sikhi strives to share the wisdom of the Sikh Gurus with the world. Our interns work closely with our educators, media volunteers, and project development teams.
As an intern, through the Education Program Planner position, you will be provided with opportunities to develop leadership, communication, client service, teamwork, and digital skills. This experience will help you develop the fundamental skills that can be used towards your personal and professional paths going forwards. Alongside this, our aim is to equip you with the insight and skills to be able to serve the greater community however you choose.

Understand the various setbacks Sikhs (and non-sikhs) face in their lives and how Sikhi helps them through their mental, physical, spiritual, and political difficulties.

Receive supervision, guidance, and mentorship from the sevadars (volunteers) dedicated to this path and work with the entire Basics of Sikhi - Everythings13 team.
