We work hand-in-hand with partner organizations to execute national campaigns, share resources, and amplify each other’s voices in times of need and celebration.
Media and Public Relations
DAC takes an active role in shaping the narrative about Hinduism in Canada. We respond swiftly to misinformation and negative portrayals in mainstream media and online platforms. Our media and PR team is trained in crisis response, reputation management, and strategic communication. Through consistent media engagement—press releases, community statements, editorial op-eds, and news features—we ensure the community is accurately represented. We also support the community in telling its own stories through podcasts, explainer videos, digital campaigns, and cultural documentaries.
Lobbying and Representation
DAC advocates for the Hindu community at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels of government. We engage policymakers, participate in consultations, and build long-term relationships with elected officials to ensure Hindu voices are heard in Canada’s political arena.

Youth Engagement and Support
The DAC Youth Dharma Mentorship Program is a cornerstone of our youth strategy. We offer multi-tiered engagement opportunities through local chapters and national platforms, where youth can participate in leadership training, skill-building workshops, and cultural exchange programs. We also connect youth with role models and mentors in sectors like tech, medicine, arts, and governance to ensure that Hindu Canadian youth feel empowered, proud, and future-ready. DAC also offers internships, student ambassador programs, and youth-led service initiatives to ensure continuous growth and involvement.
