Chaitra Surapaneni - Vice President
Hi! My name is Chaitra Surapaneni, a junior at Westwood High School. As a teen volunteer I loved working with the kids and taking them on adventures through Austin. My favorite memories at camp was when we went to the Blanton art museum and watched the kids explore all the different art installations and see how interested they were. It is so fun watching the kids explore, be creative, and learn new things and I love taking a part of that. I am so excited to be a part of the ATX Kids Club’s Teen advisory board and am ready to have another great summer!

Arnav Srinivasa, TAB Member
Hey! My name is Arnav Srinivasa, and I’ve been with ATX Kids Club for 2 years! Last summer I was a teen volunteer at Pease Park, working with kids ages 4-12 and taking them on fun educational trips around Austin. I’ve had one of the best summer experiences ever, with my favorite experiences being the exploration of the LBJ museum and touring the Blanton Art Museum. It was an incredible experience seeing the curiosity and joy of kids come to life as they made lasting friendships, engaged in fun activities, and learned so much about Texas History, art, and the culture that makes Austin so beautiful. I’m so excited to be a part of the Teen Advisory Board this year and the new journeys that I will be a part of this year!
