Founder & 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.

Secretary Team

Hi, I'm Mya! I'm a sophomore at Livingston High School, and I joined Civic Creation Club because I'm interested in making a positive impact in my community. In my free time, I enjoy playing volleyball, running track, and reading. I'm excited to learn, collaborate, and contribute with everyone in CCC.

Internal Outreach Director

Hi, I'm Kruthi, and I am the Internal Outreach Director! I love public speaking, but even more than that, I love talking with people about anything.

Purpose Project Lead

I'm a student at Livingston High School with a strong interest in civic engagement and community building. I've worked in social media and outreach roles, where I enjoy telling meaningful stories and building communities around important causes. As the Purpose Project Lead, I focus on transforming thoughtful conversations into action-driven projects that amplify youth voices.
