ELIZABETH LIU

As a freshman, Elizabeth joined the Howard County chapter of BranchOut!, a youth-led nonprofit dedicated to promoting equity in STEM education, and earned the Presidential Volunteer Service Gold Award for her service.  After moving schools, she recognized the educational disparities within her Baltimore City community and founded the BranchOut! Baltimore City Chapter alongside fellow students, working closely with The Bryn Mawr School and Dr. Yuhsien Wu, BranchOut!’s director. Over the course of 10 months, the chapter–now comprised of 15+ members from four high schools–established partnerships with four Baltimore organizations and collectively contributed over 200 service hours, serving more than 400 Baltimore City students. Elizabeth leads by example, embodying the mission of “branching out” to support underserved communities through service and action.

“Elizabeth is an exceptionally mature, insightful, and driven young woman whose unwavering passion and dedication have profoundly impacted the communities she serves.” — Yuhsien Wu, Co-Founder/Program Director, Veritas Education Leaders
