Abhinav Chalasani
Vice President
I am a rising 11th grader at Mission San Jose High School for the 2024-2025 school year. I love to in my free time play basketball, go to the gym, or play dungeons and dragons with my friends. I have joined yapa at the start of my freshmen year and have rised the ranks quickly to reach where I am now. I help manage the team and give input when needed while also managing the backend of the non profit with our metrics and data collection to help us plan our next moves as an organization.
Why do you like helping out YAPA Kids? What motivated you to join this organization?
I love giving kids an education out of school as all my life I’ve had a thirst for knowledge and want to be able to keep giving people this type of education. I attended yapa classes during covid and it really helped me pursue my want for more education and I want to be able to give back to yapa by giving a similar experience to others.
What have you learned from teaching at YAPA Kids or otherwise contributing to the organization? Have you enjoyed your time here?
I have learned how to lead a team and when to make the harsh calls that are necessary to move forward. I’ve enjoyed my time here and hope to continue leading this Non-Profit for the next 2 years.
