Welcome to My Personal Page!
Hi! My name is Nilaya Kanuri and I am a senior at George Washington High School in Charleston, West Virginia. I am the Governor for the Cardinal District Junior Civitans for the 2020-2021 year!
Junior Civitan is a service program for students that trains young people to become "Builders of Good Citizenship" in every one of their communities/groups. It develops initiative and leadership to encourage the youth (that's us!) to live full lives through service toward others.
I joined Junior Civitans as a freshman in high school, looking for opportunities for community service. What I didn't expect to find was a massive organization of people my own age changing the world. Joining this wonderful group has taught me about the importance of service, and how anyone really can make a difference.
This year, I am so incredibly honored to serve as my Cardinal District's governor. One of my objectives is to raise money for the Civitan International Research Center (CIRC) through All-in-Summit. The CIRC is a world-leader in research and treatment of intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) - they are a perfect example of the Civitan dedication to service.
All-in-Summit is an event that allows Junior Civitan governors from all over to meet in Birmingham, Alabama for a weekend to further develop our skills, share our successes and ideas, and generally support all Civitan causes. Each participant must reach a fundraising minimum to attend the event and take full advantage of everything offered that weekend.
I have set a personal fundraising goal to raise at least $2,500 to support the CIRC and I would immensely appreciate your consideration of support! I understand that these are unprecedented times, and we are all facing many different challenges, but I would love the opportunity to talk with you and share more about my efforts. I sincerely hope you will consider helping me reach my fundraising goal as I work to grow in my leadership skills and support the CIRC and their incredible work.
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by my page! :)
