Reading Sikh Youth Association (RSYA)

Who are we?


We are a group of Youngsters that want to do something to spread the word about Sikhi.



What is our mission?


Getting the younger generation involved in Sikhi, giving them a platform to learn and educate themselves in Sikhi.



What are our objectives?


  • Promoting Sikhi within the Youth through events and talks (in English).

  • Getting the Youth involved in Sikh matters such as the Gurdwara Committee.

  • Creating a Youth Sangat where everyone feels welcome.

  • Promoting Seva amongst the younger generation by holding events at the Gurdwara – education of how important Seva anywhere (not just in the Gurdwara) is.


Why are we doing this/Why are we needed?


We are seeing too many of our younger brothers and sisters walk away from Guru Ji’s path and we want to promote the true path. The most common excuses that are rife amongst the Youth are: 1) They don’t understand Punjabi therefore don’t know what Guru Ji is telling them and 2) They can’t relate to the older generation when trying to learn about Sikhi.


We are a group made up of the Youth and can connect with our brothers and sisters. We just want them to experience what we have and continue to experience and with Guru Ji’s Kirpa they will.
