Mission Statement

The Suhee Initiative is a youth-led movement rooted in the Sikh diaspora, created to cultivate love for Sikhi—especially among Sikh youth. Born out of collaboration between Sikh Student Associations across California, this initiative was built by youth, for youth.

Our core mission is to uplift and empower the Sikh community—particularly Kaurs and younger generations—by deepening our connection to Gurbani, Kirtan, and Sangat. Through collective Jaaps in Sangat group chats and youth-organized Kirtan Smaagams, we aim to foster a deeper love for Gurbani, the source of all personal and panthic growth.

Each of our Kirtan programs is entirely youth-led, encouraging and increasing active youth involvement in our local Gurdwara Sahibs. We strive to create spiritually nourishing Sangat spaces where Sikh youth can find belonging, strengthen their Sikhi, and play an active role in the Panth through Gurbani-inspired action.
