Senior Adults for Greater Education (S.A.G.E.) is a non-profit organization that benefits students, teachers and communities by promoting senior volunteers to assist with educational activities within their local schools. S.A.G.E creates mutually beneficial partnerships by facilitating programs that support student development and encourage greater senior involvement in their school districts. Today, S.A.G.E has nearly 1,200 active volunteers and reaches well over 5,000 students annually.

Our senior volunteers are committed to enhancing the educational experience, both in the classroom and beyond. Students who have been involved in the S.A.G.E. program have not only demonstrated increased academic performance, but have also shared that they’ve developed a more positive attitude towards, and acceptance for, the older generation. And the feeling is mutual. Our senior volunteers have expressed a greater appreciation for the younger generation – creating communities of mutual respect and cooperation.
