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 Ambassadorship is an opportunity to get involved with promoting Saheli’s mission statement at your college or university. Being an Ambassador enables you to plan and implement workshops on the topics of mental health and healthy relationships at your college or university. While Saheli will provide experts to lead the workshops, as an Ambassador you will help in making a workshop successful.
