Meet our 18 Under 18!
Posted in: JA Impact, JA Young Ambassadors, Students
We set out to determine the top 18 Under 18 in Arizona – the young people who represent the future leaders, change makers, and innovators in our communities.
All the nominees filled us with hope and promise for the future. Yet, these 18 young individuals stood out. Not only do they demonstrate exceptional leadership, entrepreneurial spirit, and dedication to the community, but they are already making a difference!
The 18 Under 18 all have one thing in common: they represent the business and community leaders of tomorrow and will inspire their peers to achieve new heights.
Meet this year’s 18 Under 18and join us in celebrating their accomplishments!
