"I chose to apply as an intern at the Sikh Coalition because I understood the capacity it has to create change within our nation. I would be able to give back to my community by helping create a safe environment for all Sikh Americans and there is nothing more rewarding."
"The intelligence and diversity of solutions that the Coalition brings to legal and other matters is extraordinary. Yet the most unique aspect of the organization is the collaboration between staff and interns."
