Noor is a senior in Texas. They have been an active member of their SAVE Promise Club for a year. The focus of their Club is bettering the campus. They’re creating a safe space where all students can thrive in a school environment without worrying about external factors like bullying.
One of the most successful activities the Club organized was a Cultural Diversity Fair. Their school district is extremely diverse across ethnicity, religion, and identity. As a young person of color, Noor feels very strongly that everyone should have access to equal resources and opportunities. Their Club organized Say Something Week, presented at the virtual Youth Summit and more than 300 of their peers attended.
“No matter the age, all children can learn about caring and being compassionate to others in order to continue demonstrating those traits throughout their life.”
Noor, National Youth Advisory Board
