The Bhujangi Youth Academy (BYA) is a Jakara Movement initiative that was started in 2011 to address the growing concern of violence in our community. The goal is to create a forum for young Sikh high school boys to reflect, learn, and become inspired by Sikhi and a new Sangat.
Our staff includes confident young Singhs/Kaurs from diverse backgrounds - from doctoral students to doctors, social workers to outdoorsmen - all born in the US, connecting with a variety of youth experiences.
Bhujangi Youth Academy aims to introduce Sikh culture through Gurbani, Tarikh (history), Philosophy, and Rehat, while also providing a safe place for kids to learn essential life skills like tying a tie, budgeting, cooking, and cleaning.
High school is a critical period in a young man's life. Bhujangi Youth Academy brings discipline together with fun, brotherhood, and passion, ensuring a nurturing environment to build strong, healthy, confident young men.
Upon graduating, BYA alums return to their communities, engaging in Jakara Movement's community chapters (misls), volunteering, and staying connected with positive peer role models and seva opportunities.
Our commitment to helping Bhujangis learn real-life skills and confidence is stronger than ever. We have exciting interactive workshops planned and look forward to meeting all the new and returning Bhujangis!
