Kyren is a youth advocate and imaginative leader from Chicago, Illinois, who has already made their mark — from advocating for a new school building to flying to Washington D.C. to speak up for their community. With a deep passion for public policy, law, mental health, and anti-gun violence work, Kyren also channels their energy into poetry, music production, art, and literature. They come to India not just to explore a new country, but to connect with their pen pals in person, engage in meaningful climate justice work, and carry this experience forward for life.
