  rish Parekh is young, social impact player and an advocate for a connected world, particularly serving the youth.

With well over 1,000 hours of service under his belt across several, mainly youth-centric, nonprofits, he has played numerous roles, on ground and corporate level, throughout the non-profit world. Krish has received two Presidential Gold Medals and a Bronze medal for service work. He received Community Champion recognition by the Dublin Chamber of Commerce three times. The Boler College of Business at the John Carroll University gave him the Youth Global Citizenship recognition for his work for college students overseas. Despite all the accolades, seeing a twinkle in the eyes of youth he serves both overseas and at home is what Krish considers his highest award.

• Vivaan Gupta

  Student

  My name is Vivaan Gupta, and I’m a sophomore at Dublin Jerome High School. I enjoy hanging out with friends, playing pick-up basketball, and going on bike rides. Something that I care deeply about is the stigma around discussing political views openly, and I enjoy watching political debates that explore the different angles surrounding a wide range of issues. Also, I enjoy learning about psychology and how it affects people throughout their daily lives, which is part of the reason that I chose to give a talk like this one. I don't have this all figured out yet. I'm just someone who got curious and asked the questions out loud instead of just thinking them.
