Malvern's Owen Ball Selected for Ohio Statewide Empower Youth Advisory Council COLUMBUS (OH) – High school students across Ohio have been selected for the new Ohio Suicide Prevention Foundation (OSPF) Youth Advisory Council. Twenty students were selected from among 50 applicants who were required to be between the ages of 14 and 19 and enrolled in an Ohio high school, which includes homeschooling, GED programs, and private or charter schools. Members were selected from different grades and counties, representing a variety of interests and groups. “We were amazed by the number of students who applied, as well as their enthusiasm for making a difference in their communities and beyond,” said OSPF Youth Program and Policy Manager Evi Roberts. “It’s a privilege to work with such talented young people, and we are excited to see how the OSPF Youth Advisory Council shapes suicide prevention efforts across Ohio.” Youth-led suicide prevention interventions can effectively reduce self-harm and suicidal thoughts. One peer-led model, Source of Strength, has been shown in a new study to decrease suicide attempts among high school students by 29% when implemented to fidelity. The Youth Advisory Council will meet in Columbus this spring to review applications for youth-led grants. Funding is available for up to 10 Ohio-based activities in middle schools, junior high schools, high schools, and/or communities. Proposals are being accepted through February 21, 2025, for evidence-based or evidence-informed suicide prevention activities. These may be linked to existing programs and campaigns supported by OSPF, such as Sources of Strength and Be Present Ohio, or they can be independent initiatives like SADD and original youth-led programs. More information about the grant can be found at https://bepresentohio.org/funding-opportunities. Owen is a Junior at Malvern High School. He is the son of Shawn and Kara Ball. Owen is very active in Malvern High School as a member of the varsity Football and Track and Field Teams, National Honor Society, Big Brothers Big Sisters Mentoring, and Malvern High School Lighthouse Leadership Team

Malvern High School Juniors Shine at RYLA Leadership Conference Malvern, OH – Congratulations to Malvern High School juniors David Krutilek, Jacob McClelland, and Zoe Sikorsky on their selection and participation in the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) Conference! The event took place from Friday, February 7th to Sunday, February 9th, at the Marriott in Canfield, Ohio, bringing together young leaders from across the state. RYLA is an intensive leadership development experience organized by Rotary clubs and districts. Participants engage in interactive workshops, team-building activities, and leadership exercises designed to enhance their communication, collaboration, and decision-making skills. The Malvern Rotary generously provided funding to cover all costs associated with the conference, ensuring that these outstanding students could take full advantage of this transformative opportunity. Reflecting on her experience, Zoe Sikorsky expressed her gratitude, saying, “I am so fortunate to be given the opportunity to attend the RYLA leadership conference. I am so thankful for the local Rotary Club for sponsoring me! I learned important leadership skills during this conference, like working with others and communicating.” David Krutilek also spoke highly of the event, stating, “The program was very positive and interactive. We were engaged the entire time in great events and activities.” Jacob McClelland echoed their enthusiasm, adding, “I had a great time at RYLA and learned a lot about leadership skills and communication.” The Malvern community is proud of these students for representing their school with excellence and looks forward to seeing how they apply their newly honed leadership skills in the future.
