Elijah Yoon
Founder of Think Gracious, a Non-Profit
I am a student at Unionville High School and founded Think Gracious to improve the physical and emotional well-being of senior citizens, with the help of high school volunteers.
While working at Ivy Creek Gracious Retirement Living, I realized that senior citizens need interactive activities, classes, and performances to keep them busy throughout the day. Social, creative, and physical activities are necessary for the overall well-being of senior citizens. On the other hand, high school students are always searching for places to volunteer, whether it be for a club, an application, or the desire to give back to the community. And that is how Think Gracious was formed.
Think Gracious is a platform that helps high school students find volunteer opportunities at nearby senior living centers, with the ultimate goal of improving the well-being of senior citizens.
