— FAQ —
Still got questions?
Who is Safal for?
Safal is for ambitious Sikh students and early-career professionals — builders, creatives, and technologists — who want mentorship, community, and career growth. Allies who share our mission and values are welcome.
When and how did Safal start?
Safal began at the Anandpur Institute Non-Profit Accelerator Bootcamp, when SikhTeens and the United Sikh Movement teamed up after recognizing a gap: plenty of Sikh talent and expertise, but too little representation in key industries and leadership roles. The two organizations pooled 15+ years of combined nonprofit experience to launch Safal.
What should I wear and bring?
Business-casual works well. Bring a notebook or laptop for workshops, and an updated résumé/portfolio for mentor or networking sessions.
