18 Under 18 Honoree: Noa Lazarian

Noa is an exceptionally gracious and generous person. In addition to being an excellent student, Noa is one of the youngest people to ever be enrolled at the Centennial Aviation Academy flight school and will receive her pilot’s license before her driver’s license. She is also a 12-year-old black belt who trained tirelessly to complete the belt in Taekwondo. Noa founded the organization Lazarian Girls: Do Good Be Good when she was 7 years old, following the death of one of her classmates from cancer. Noa has raised over $10,000 for community nonprofits like The Packaged Good and organizes an annual toy and clothing drive to give to children in Honduras.
