Aryan Rajput
Founder and Service Coordinator, DC Metro Area
Aryan has always been drawn to the idea of making a difference in the community. He is currently a Sophomore at Cornell University.
AR's world view is defined largely on his experiences as a first generation immigrant, living many years in multi residential housing with other immigrant families. He attended the historic Luther Jackson Middle School, which is the first FCPS public high school for segregated African American Students. His experiences as a care giver in a Senior Care retirement home where his duties include Bathing, dressing, feeding, toileting and assisting residents with physical therapy have provided him with an appreciation of others who looked to him for support in their most vulnerable moment in their life. AR has also provided care for children with intellectual disabilities, worked in the Hospital Emergency Room and shadowed a doctor of Psychiatry which have created a strong sense of doing something for others in their moment of need. AR is actively involved with several initiatives on campus, including Planned Parenthood Generation Action and the Prison Reform Education Project.
In his free time, he enjoys bouldering and road tripping. .
