Description

In this episode of the SUSD Spotlight Podcast, we’re joined by Scottsdale Online Learning student Jordan Sucato and principal Nick Noonan. Jordan is the founder of Laws for Paws LLC, a youth-led nonprofit that raises awareness about the malpractice and mistreatment of animals nationwide.

 

Last year, her organization raised $18,000 for animal welfare in Maricopa County. She also authored legislation to ban the sale of animal-tested cosmetics in Arizona, partnering with Senator John Kavanagh and the Animal Defense League to bring the bill to life.

 

Jordan is also a recipient of PETA’s Hero to Animals Award and was named Student of the Month by the Arizona Board of Education earlier this school year.
