The Executive Team
Isabel Liu
Founder and Executive Director/President
Isabel Liu is a 16-year-old junior at the Liberal Arts and Science Academy in Austin, Texas, hoping to pursue a path in the medical field after graduating. Long before starting Generations 2Gether with a few of her classmates, she has been an active volunteer in hospitals, nursing homes, food banks, and so on. Isabel is also a strong leader in her school community, holding positions such as Student Council President and various club presidents.
She found her love for interacting and spending time with the senior community through her own relationship with her grandpa. Witnessing him suffer through medical hardships and eventually dementia sparked her desire to support all seniors, especially those in senior living communities who are most prone to feelings of loneliness, and bring them the solace of companionship, just as she and her family did for her grandpa. Through creating this unique "grandpal" program, Isabel hopes that her team and she can provide both seniors and high schoolers valuable memories and irreplaceable connections.
