Omaha Morning Rotary is proud to sponsor Sraavya Doddapaneni, a bright 9th grader at Brownell Talbot, for this year’s Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA). Sraavya currently serves as the Director of Events at JuSTEMagine, an organization advancing STEM and SEL education for K through 12 students. With aspirations to major in biology and pursue a career in the medical field, Sraavya hopes to one day hold a leadership position in healthcare improving patient outcomes, advancing medical practices, and mentoring future professionals. She believes RYLA will strengthen her public speaking, collaboration, and decision making skills as she continues to grow as a student leader.
To make this opportunity possible, our club needs to raise $350 to cover her RYLA participation fee. So far, we have raised $95, and we only need $255 more. With just $12 from each of our 21 members, we can fully sponsor Sraavya’s journey toward leadership and service.

Every contribution, big or small, will help us invest in the next generation of leaders who embody Rotary’s values of Service Above Self.
