Meet the board.
Thirteen students leading discussions, journalism, outreach, research, and purpose projects across Livingston.
Myra Dhawan
myra.dhawan@lps-students.orgFounder & President
Hi! I'm Myra, a current sophomore at LHS. I founded the Civic Creation Circle because I believed that students were beyond capable of holding discussions about civic issues, but lacked a nonpartisan forum to debate, brainstorm, and implement impactful solutions. Beyond that, I'm deeply inspired by learning about different perspectives and broadening my worldview on all kinds of topics. Outside school, I love to write, read, and paint, and I bring that creativity with me in building civic solutions.
