Initiatives
Ongoing:
Project Pulse - Sahasra Yadlapalli
Project Pulse is an initiative sparked by a loss that inspired a mission to save lives, dedicated to equipping communities with the vital skills needed during cardiac emergencies. Its purpose is to close the gap between emergency and survival. Through four focused phases, assessing awareness, raising public understanding, providing training, and expanding community engagement, Project Pulse aims to spread lifesaving knowledge across diverse communities. This initiative fosters change by empowering individuals to act decisively when every second counts. Project Pulse envisions a world where every heartbeat is protected by someone prepared and ready to save a life.

Uplifters - Samiksha Yadlapalli, Sahasra Paladugu, Srinidhi Bhimireddy
Linked In Love - Bex Kearns
Homemade bracelets sold to raise funds and awareness for equality/kindness and a cure/research. Countless individuals suffer from cancer and the only way to help find a cure once and for all is to keep experimenting and studying the disease. Several groups of religion, ethnicity, sexuality, and more face discrimination and prejudice every day. But with the money made from selling bracelets, we can keep fighting for equal rights and treatment. No one should have to hide who they are, who they love, or where they come from. We can fight for a change and advocate for those who are silenced.
Their Future, Our Promise – Sahasra Yadlapalli ​
Their Future, Our Promise is an ongoing intiative to fully support the education and growth of Pranathi and Apoorva, two bright young girls from Hyderabad, India, whose dreams were nearly lost after their father's tragic accident. Through the dedication of sponsors and the leadership of the youth, this initiative stands as a promise: that every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and thrive.
Upcoming:
Senior Glow - Shruti Patolia and Jiya Patel
This is a high school club where teens visit senior centers to spend time with older adults and help them feel more confident and happy. We do makeup, nails, hair, and other things to make them feel like joy in getting ready like they used to! Our goal is to make them feel good in their own skin and remind them how special they are. It’s about spreading kindness to people no matter the age!

Uplifter - Ritika Hudka
SisterSport - Bex Kearns
A club designed to support female athletes on and off the field. We meet twice a month to talk about obstacles we face, how to conquer them, and maybe even focusing on a specific sport each time we meet. To fundraise for other female athlete empowerment foundations, we might sell concessions during sports games, run athlete sponsorship opportunities, and more. So many girls quit their sport when they are young due to factors that this club can address and help provide a community where they feel safe to explore sports again.
Blue Zone Project - Samantha Melin
The Blue Zone project spreads awareness and educes everyone on what a Blue Zone is. There will be different groups, clubs, and events to focus on the Power 9 and incorporating them into daily lifestyles. There would be gardening classes (teaching benefits of plant-based lifestyle), selling books, finding ikigai and moai, improving cardiovascular health, walking groups, mental/physical health improvements, and much more.
Chapter 1 - Kassidy Grega
A community unifying goal of running a local book drive and collaborating with the local library (to recycle old or damaged books) to donate books to local organizations in need of books (ex., less-funded schools, orphanages, etc) with the goal of bettering and connecting the local community.
The World of Dance - Sridurga Bhimireddy
The world of dance is where I would help kids who are already learning Kuchipudi more with steps or dances they have trouble with. It would help the dancers stay accountable while practicing and with me. The overall goal is to help dancers who are struggling with mastering a step or staying accountable with practice.
Your Next Chapter - Tanvi Kasiviswanathan
Your Next Chapter empowers girls in underserved communities through access to books, education, and storytelling. By fostering literacy and opening doors to new opportunities, we help every girl write her future and turn the page to a brighter tomorrow.
