Jazveer Kaler
Region 1 – West Coast Director
Hello, I’m a senior from Portland, Oregon, and the Chief Fundraising Officer of YPS. As president of the Speech & Debate Program at Sunset High School, I lead one of the top teams in the region and am ranked among the top debaters in the U.S. I also co-founded Exotech, a startup that won the Diamond Challenge for developing a brain-controlled exoskeleton for stroke rehabilitation. I’m passionate about advocacy, working to extend persuasion and critical thinking skills beyond debate to empower others in political participation and drive meaningful community change.

Hi! I’m a senior at Ursuline Academy of Dallas, passionate about music and advocacy.

Konichiwa! I’m a senior at St. Mary’s International School of Tokyo, on the Varsity debate, speech, and MUN teams for 6 years. I’ve won gold in speech, outstanding delegate awards at Kanto-plain MUN conferences, and placed 3rd best speaker at the IIMUN conference in Tokyo. In music, I’m part of the Varsity ensemble, winning the grand prix at the Young Prague festival, 1st at the Tokyo Choral competition, and 1st in Hawaii at the World Heritage Festival. I’ve also led ensembles to over 10 gold awards, acted as the male lead in school musicals, and serve as Vice President of the Choir Society. This year, I’m managing a singing show with 400+ guests. In my free time, I enjoy singing, watching Japanese political news, and spending time with my dog.
