Ever since they were in elementary school, sisters Shreyaa and Esha Venkat of Ashburn, Virginia, have enjoyed helping others. In 2016, they launched Nest4Us, a teen-led nonprofit that encourages kindness and social good. “We had so much fun giving back to the community with our family that we wanted to create opportunities where other families and friends could volunteer together and explore their passions in their own unique ways,” says Shreyaa, 19. Nest4Us’s five core programs focus on issues such as education, leadership, and feeding the hungry. The organization has now grown to include more than 3,000 volunteers from 27 different countries, doing everything from organizing workshops on mental health to packing toiletries and food for those in need. The co-founders say they love helping volunteers discover a love for service, and they hope that the success of Nest4Us will prove that young people are able to create significant positive change in the world. “You don’t need to be an amazing superhero,” says Esha, 16. “Everybody has the power to make a difference, no matter who they are or where they come from.”
