UNITED SIKH MOVEMENT
United Sikh Movement came to life when a group of students wanted to make SSA a productive home for Sikh youth. SSA’s have been around since the 60s, but they have lacked a withstanding purpose and sense of unity. These students reached out to SSA presidents and in a short time, they mobilized for unity, and more importantly, for a movement. Currently, for the first time in California history, a single organization has successfully created a headquarters for the SSAs.

What We Do
At United Sikh Movement (USM), we empower Sikh college students to stay connected to Sikhi while navigating academic and personal growth. Through conferences, camps, leadership retreats, and Gurbani study sessions, we create opportunities for students to explore their faith, build lasting friendships, and serve their communities. We support Sikh Students Associations (SSAs) by providing resources, leadership guidance, and a platform for networking across campuses. Grounded in the core values of Simran (Spirituality), Seva (Philanthropy), Sangat (Community), and Academics, USM helps students grow into thoughtful, compassionate, and engaged leaders—rooted in Sikhi and ready to make a difference.
Why USM Matters
1. A Home Away from Home
We help Sikh students stay connected to their roots, even while balancing school, work, and personal growth.
2. Real Community, Real Impact
Through Sangat, Seva, and Simran, students build lifelong friendships and make meaningful contributions to their communities.
3. Growing Future Leaders
By offering resources, leadership opportunities, and space to engage critically with Sikh issues, we empower students to lead with purpose.
