SIDAK

Event Details

Sidak is a distinctive leadership development program for young adults seeking to increase their commitment towards the Sikh faith. A rigorous educational experience, the days at Sidak are packed with reflective divāns, inspirational guest speakers, fun-filled activities, and the opportunity to grow and learn as a group. Over two weeks, participants learn the value of the Sikh culture through instruction in understanding the message, the revolution, and the lifestyle—lessons and connections students will draw on for the rest of their lives.
