What is Sukh Sagar Academy?

Sukh Sagar Academy is a youth-centered initiative dedicated to empowering Sikh youth through education, leadership, and community engagement. Our programs inspire young minds to explore Sikh history, connect with Gurbani, and live the values of Seva, Simran, and Sangat. We provide a welcoming space where youth can strengthen their Sikh identity, build lasting friendships, and become confident leaders of tomorrow.

Summer 2025 is the first year of this program and for this year the program is targeted towards youth aged 12 to 15 Years of age and program runs for four weeks starting July 14 2025.

Program is limited to 20 participants. All participants must attend all four weeks of the program

Discover Sikh Heritage

Participants explore the rich history of Sikhism, from the life and teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji to the formation of the Khalsa. Through engaging workshops, storytelling, and interactive activities, youth gain a deeper understanding of Sikh values, historical milestones, and the inspiring lives of Sikh heroes.

Connect with Gurbani & Spirituality

Our program helps youth build a personal connection with Gurbani and Sikh spiritual practices. Through guided reflections, Simran sessions, and discussions on key shabads, participants learn how Sikh teachings can guide everyday life and nurture inner peace, resilience, and compassion.

Lead Through Seva & Sangat

Youth actively engage in Seva (selfless service) and teamwork, strengthening their role within the Sikh community. Through community projects and collaborative activities, participants experience the power of Sangat (community) and develop leadership, empathy, and a spirit of service.
