Sage
SAGE (SENIOR VOLUNTEERS GENERATING ENRICHMENT) has a pool of 150 senior volunteers who tutor students and enrich curricula with their expertise and first-hand accounts of careers, travel and history in 16 school districts and 24 agencies serving youth. This past year, 55 SAGE volunteers spent 4,300 hours working with young people. Example:

"Mr. Stone had contributed significantly to the educational growth and development of the students in the Electronic Engineering Technology Program. Without Mr. Stone’s help, there were students in the program who would not have successfully completed the program." –Teacher at Eastern Center for Arts and Technology.

Sage was developed in 1990 and utilizes the skills and experience of mature men and women as tutors, mentors and classroom presenters. Their work complements and supplements the educational resources of the local schools.

Sage’s diversity of services seems limitless, as the educational community realizes the powerful role seniors can play in the lives of young learners.
