The Sikh Family Center is a grassroots community-based organization that helps create healthy, violence-free, more equitable communities by bridging gaps in access to public resources and social services, and providing education and direct support to community members using an empowerment approach that attends to cultural tradition, immigration experiences, and language access.

*Outreach, Education & Activism (teen empowerment workshops, resource creation, health awareness campaigns)
*Access to Social Services (crisis counseling, domestic violence prevention & response, peer support)
*Creative Cultural Expression (art/music/poetry spotlights, community art events)
