Our Next Generation

TREWO Trailblazers

The TREWO family warmly welcomes Adina and Aayush and is proud of their ambition, creativity, and dedication to reaching young people.

The TREWO Trailblazers have committed to organizing two events annually under the leadership of co-chairs Adina Alex and Aayush Rao.

In February 2026, the Trailblazers successfully hosted the Workgroup Youth Seminar, “How AI Is Rewiring Childhood,” featuring keynote speaker Miguel Martinez. Planning is now underway for the next youth event, which will take place in October 2026.

The Trailblazers also made an outstanding contribution to TREWO’s fundraising efforts by raising over $7,000 through raffle ticket sales alone. This remarkable achievement reflects their enthusiasm, determination, teamwork, and willingness to support the organization. Their energy and dedication made a meaningful difference to the success of the event and deserves special recognition.
