Saheli’s Youth Engagement Program (SYEP) is a space for South Asian youth to come together and engage with each other on issues that connect them. The SYEP includes the Youth Leadership Fellowship for high school students, and the Saheli University Ambassadorship and Internship programs for college students.
The Saheli Youth Leadership Fellowship is an opportunity that provides high school students with the capacity to engage with a diverse range of South Asian issues. Youth Fellows will get the chance to attend workshops and engage in discussions on issues that are important to them, write blogs to start important dialogues within their community and be a part of a close cohort of social justice-minded individuals.
