Now, let’s learn a little bit more about the Rockstars at NEST4US!

Teenage siblings Shreyaa Venkat, 19, and Esha Venkat, 16, co-founded 501©3 nonprofit NEST4US as a philanthropic platform built upon kindness, generosity,  and social good. As Gen-Z social activists and nonprofit leaders, they advance dialogue and  inspire others to take action in local, national, and global communities. Through  NEST4US, they tackle a plethora of societal issues that focus on global hunger, climate  change, quality education, poverty, sustainability, women empowerment, equity, and more  through NEST4US’ five core programs (NEST Nurtures, NEST Tutors, NEST Kares,  NEST Buddies, and NEST Inspires). In just five years, their volunteer family has grown to  over 2,500 people of all ages and backgrounds who have contributed over 1 million dollars  in value of volunteer hours! 

As Points of Light Youth Network Leaders, Giving Tuesday Spark Chapter Heads, Be  Strong Global Representatives, Good Deeds Day Ambassadors, DoSomething Research  Council Representatives, and Global Peace Delegates, this sister duo empowers people  worldwide to actively shape their future through engagement in global service movements! Their overall vision is to empower people of all ages and backgrounds to create a more  compassionate and inclusive world by instilling a passion for service in their communities  through acts of kindness!
