Internship Areas
Curriculum Development & Research --
This is your opportunity to imagine the lessons that you wish had been included in your previous school experiences and then help create the resources to bring them to life in classrooms around the country. What do you wish your classmates or teachers had known about Sikhs when you were in their classes? The heart of Kaur Foundation has always been our classroom resources and programs to help teachers increase their knowledge about Sikhism. Interns in this area will work on existing and new curriculum materials, as well as research projects that support our work in school districts across the country. Example Projects:

Communications & Writing --
Stories and narratives teach us about how to live together and impart critical knowledge. Use your writing and storytelling skills to celebrate the achievements of Sikh students, educators, and other community members and bring attention to issues of concern to Sikhs in the US and around the world. Communications interns will advance the message of Kaur Foundation through both public facing communications and materials that will be used in our classroom materials. Example Projects:

Digital & Creative Media --
Apply to your creative talents to showcase the Sikh-American experience through authentic and engaging media. Your skills in photography, video production, graphic design, illustration, or another medium can promote understanding and cultural and religious literacy for a wide audience.
