Our Members
Meet the founder and volunteer coordinators of our organization!
Jay Jhaver (CEO and Founder)
Jay is a sophomore at Duke University, and will graduate in 2024. He has many hobbies such as watching football and playing video games. He likes to hang out with friends and volunteer in his community.
He has always had a soft spot for veterans who have fought to defend our country and freedoms. As an ethnic minority, and having traveled the world, it is evident that freedom is not universal. These brave men and women fought to defend our civil liberties. Jay is dedicated to ensuring that these servicemen and women come back as heroes in the communities that they help to defend and protect.
