Meet Henry and Jake

Henry and Jake, founders of Teens Who Tech, have been best friends since 5th grade and share a passion for technology and helping others. Inspired by the close relationships they each have with their grandparents, they were deeply moved to learn how many seniors—especially those in senior living communities—struggle with using everyday technology. This disconnect often leads to feelings of isolation and loneliness. Determined to make a difference, Henry and Jake co-founded Teens Who Tech, a student-led volunteer organization dedicated to providing tech support and, just as importantly, meaningful companionship to elderly residents. What started as a small idea between two friends is now a growing community of students helping bridge generations through compassion and connection.
