About Aditi J.

Curious, passionate, and endlessly driven, I’m a 17-year-old 11th-grade student from Varanasi, always exploring, learning, and creating. I thrive on debating, international MUNs, policy research, and global dialogue, and love connecting with new ideas and people to make an impact. My skills in problem solving, leadership, and public relations allow me to navigate challenges effectively and contribute meaningfully in every project I undertake.As the AFS Ambassador, I bring global perspectives to my school, currently hosting a student from Japan and having participated in the AFS Global Changemakers Accelerator Program with the University of Pennsylvania. I’m actively involved in social initiatives like Each One Teach One, helping domestic workers’ children access education, and contributing to community-based projects that drive real change. My abilities in management and exploring new opportunities help me lead and coordinate such initiatives successfully.I’ve also honed my content creation and digital engagement skills as Social Media Executive for TEDxYouth at my school, reaching 300k+ people and driving engagement through creative storytelling and strategy. Coming from Varanasi, I dream big, act boldly, and pursue everything I admire with unrelenting passion. Every day I ask, “Why not try this?”, and that curiosity drives me to explore, lead, and create. My ultimate goals: study at Harvard Business School and represent youth voices at the United Nations.

Experience

1. Project Intern

   Pledge A Smile

   Feb 2026 — Present

   I am currently interning with Project SEVA, an initiative by Pledge A Smile Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting underprivileged and needy children.As part of this role, I work on raising funds and spreading awareness through digital and social media, helping people understand how even small contributions can create meaningful impact. My focus is on storytelling, outreach, and communicating the real change that donations bring to children’s lives like - education, care, and hope for a better future.This experience has strengthened my skills in social impact communication, fundraising awareness, teamwork, and community engagement, while allowing me to contribute to a cause larger than myself.
