Sikhpoint was launched with the intention
to facilitate and provide Sikhs a comprehensive resource for their social, cultural,
religious, professional, and personal needs. We are creating a strong network within
which Sikhs worldwide, under all age groups, can collaborate and expand their knowledge,
information, and resources.

Sikhpoint is a non-profit organization and education is our main objective. We not only plan to educate through this website, but the majority of the funds
we raise will be used for youth scholarships, loans and other community projects. We hope to create comprehensive scholarships that will cover the entire cost of
students who cannot afford to attend college. Sikhpoint believes that every member of our community should have the opportunity to receive a higher education.

Current Developments on this Site
|
|
|   |
Our site was created to provide Sikhs leadership and guidance within the community.
For this we are creating a Mentorship Program in which we offer mentorship for our
users' personal and professional needs. Users will post their specific mentorship
requirements and volunteers will offer time for their advisement.
|
  |
|   |
We are working towards a system: SMP, Sikh Media Point. This organization will actively
combat discrimination of our community members in any form at no cost to its users. The task force will be led
by members in the legal community and will be facilitated by volunteers with a variety of specializations.

Sikhpoint has a special section where we engage youth with educational resources
that will allow them to easily learn about Sikh religion, language, & culture.
In order to encourage their education, Sikhpoint will offer contests and awards
to youth who have demonstrated achievement in the study of Sikhism. Sikhpoint is
also creating avenues on this site for youth to discuss the identity issues and
concerns that arise while living in a cosmopolitan society.
|
  |
|   |
Sikhpoint offers guidance to seniors and those who are not aware of social services
and programs that may ease the transition from India to other international locations.
We offer links to immigration, medical, and retirement services.
|
  |
|   |
Our objective at Sikhpoint is to create an interactive space for Sikhs to engage
in dialogue about their practical needs and concerns. Sikhpoint promotes constructive
and cooperative dialogue and will further develop this site according to feedback from
our users.
|
  |
|   |
Our final purpose is to create a working mechanism of support for Sikhs in their
day-to-day activities and challenges. Through our Internet links, Sikhpoint will
also help dispel ignorance of the Sikh community throughout the world, therefore
maintaining our main objective to aggressively promote education and interaction
within society as a whole.
