Junior Achievement of Arizona honors Glendale student for developing app
Posted
Special to Independent Newsmedia
A Glendale student was among those Junior Achievement of Arizona honored as the 2023 18 under 18 winners.
Molly Budhiraja, 16, of Glendale, is a junior at BASIS Peoria. She developed an app to help connect teens with local charities in need, and her nonprofit, “My Wish for My Community,” has organized several community events in the past two years, and volunteers served approximately 800 hours in their communities just last year.
The 18 statewide winners have all started businesses and nonprofits, volunteered or advocated for a cause.
“Each year, we’re amazed by the next class of students,” Junior Achievement of Arizona CEO Katherine Cecala shared in a statement. “They advocate for causes, start nonprofits to help others in our community, work with their schools to bring new ideas and programs to their schools, care about the environment or advocate for causes. They all have bright futures and we’re honored to know them.”
