Strong Professional Candidates From All Backgrounds Encouraged to Apply

The Sikh Coalition seeks qualified candidates for three full-time, salaried positions: Executive Director, New York City Sikh Community Advocate and Operations Manager.

The Sikh Coalition has defended the rights of more individual Sikhs in North America than any other organization using relatively little resources. The Coalition is currently inundated with more requests for help from across the country than our current operational infrastructure can handle. In response to community demand, the Coalition is significantly invested in increasing our capacity. We seek candidates who are capable and passionate about creating a professional, permanent, institutionalized voice for Sikhs in the United States and beyond.
