About us— what we are

Mission

The BluBirds Project is dedicated to reducing the effects of isolation and loneliness among our senior population through meaningful, intergenerational connections. Our goal is to promote the well-being and social integration of elderly community members, ensuring they remain active, valued, and engaged participants in society.

Vision

We envision a world where the elderly are never left behind—where they continue to thrive, share, and inspire through connections with younger generations. The BluBirds Project aims to bridge the generational divide, creating a community that celebrates diversity in age, wisdom, and experience.

About


As a co-founder of the Blu Birds initiative and a senior in high school, I am driven by a passion for aiding vulnerable communities. Coming from an immigrant family that lacked intergenerational bonds, Blu Birds has given me the opportunity to build these connections. Through this initiative, I have learned from and aided a diverse community that has influenced and shared so much with me. Each visit rewards me with heartfelt conversations and smiles, creating moments of profound connection and joy.

Hi my name is Prisha I am one of the co-founders and executive director of the BluBirds club as well as a high school senior. Through BluBirds ive found a way to connect with my community and grow my interest in the healthcare field. Additionally, i've been able to work with hundreds of senior residents in the hopes of combatting isolation within retirement homes. I am excited to continue to expand BluBirds and spread awareness about brain health to make a lasting impact!
