Youth Leaders

I am Priya Jayakumar, a senior at Caravel Academy. I volunteer with CC for the last 5 years and been part of CC’s Autism Awareness Walk, Socks Drive, Cyclone Amphan Relief Drive (CC’s first youth-led initiative), and community service at Wilmington and Elkton. Outside of Charity Crossing, I enjoy volunteering at AI Dupont, I am my school’s student government president, and am an avid member of Jefferson Awards. In recognition of my volunteer activities, I have received the Presidential Volunteer Service Award (5 times), Governor’s Youth Volunteer Service Award, and Multiplying Good’s One in a Million Award. I enjoy dancing and baking. I completed my Arangetram and used my gift money to plant 6,000 trees in India. As a youth leader, I hope to make the world a better place for everyone through my service!

 I am a 10th grader at Downingtown East High School, PA. I am an avid swimmer and have a passion to play Mridangam and play football. I feel very happy for helping people who are in need and volunteer to support, and contribute to the community. I always wanted to help people who are in need and support them. By joining, Charity Crossing Inc., a non-profit organization helps me to take part in fundraising, and contribute to the community in all possible ways.. 

I am a rising Junior at Concord High School (Wilmington, Delaware). I am 16 years old and my hobbies include dance, field hockey, painting, and spending time with friends and family. As a youth leader for Charity Crossing, I aspire to make a positive difference in society. There are immeasurable amounts of valid issues occurring in the world today, and I hope to have a lasting positive impact on those issues through my work at Charity Crossing. As a youth leader I hope to encourage and motivate others to partake in Charity Crossing events; the more people involved, the greater impact we have! I am extremely excited to participate in all of the efforts and I am thrilled to be working on my own initiatives as a part of CC.

My name is Amika Kumar. I’m a freshman at Garnet Valley High school.  Because of my prior experience in a sock drive assisting in the donations, I am inspired to take charge and see how much more I can contribute to the cause this time. 

I am going to be a Freshman in high school. Some of my hobbies include Indian classical dance, piano, and calligraphy. Helping and giving back to the community is something that I was always inclined towards and passionate about. Charity Crossing provided me a platform through which I could make a difference in my community. In my three years of involvement with this organization, I have participated in many initiatives and thoroughly enjoyed being a part of them. I hope to help as many people as we can especially during these uncertain times and give people a reason to smile.

I am Charity Crossing’s digital design youth leader! I’m currently a junior in the Digital Technology Communications and Humanities pathways at Appoquinimink High School. My interests include making art, listening to music, and advocating for social justice.

Contribution: I will contribute to Charity Crossing’s initiatives by putting forth my expertise and skills in digital design. My intention is to create art that will spread awareness on a variety of issues and inspire people to come together to solve those issues and give back to society. I want to use my art to advocate for the community and spark others to join our cause as well.

I am a rising sophomore at Concord High School.
