Yuvraj Singh
Attendee of summer 2025 Leadership course

“Being Sikh is not a limitation or a ceiling on what we can do……  The panth needs politicians and thats something I’d like to do when I’m older…. This course has opened my eyes to the fact that I can connect my goals and hobbies to something that can promote the panth in the future”

Jas Gill
Parent- Summer 2025 Leadership course

“I’ve been incredibly impressed with just how good the children are and how much they’ve developed in such a short period of time” [Students learnt] how to put together a cogent argument when there are vastly different opinions in the room. And I think they've had lots of fun as well."
