Profile

Sage sparks the imagination and commitment of people over 50 who believe in generational equity: each generation has the responsibility to give forward and improve the quality of life for the next. To accomplish our work, we raise awareness about major challenges facing the future in education, the environment, and the economy (the 3 es), connect people to resources and opportunities to get involved, and train and support people to actively engage in social causes and nonprofit organizations. We work across generations because we need each other and the future needs all the advocates it can get.

THROUGH OUR VISION 2030 TEAM, WE ENGAGED 25 PARTNERS AND OFFERED LESSONS AND ALL-SCHOOL FAIRS FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS TO LEARN ABOUT PORTLAND'S CLIMATE GOAL, SOLUTIONS AND JOBS. THIS YEAR, WE FACILITATED OVER 40 LESSONS AND THREE FAIRS, REACHING 1,600 STUDENTS. THROUGH OUR CITIZEN PROJECT, WE OFFERED FIFTEEN EVENTS TO ADDRESS HEIGHTENED POLITICAL POLARIZATION BY PROMOTING BETTER LISTENING AND CIVIL CONVERSATION ON POLITICS. WE ALSO HOSTED STATEWIDE CONVENINGS FOR ORGANIZATIONS THAT BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER ACROSS DIFFERENCES TO SOLVE PROBLEMS. WE SPONSORED TWO PROGRAMS TO ENGAGE OLDER ADULTS AS MENTORS AND TUTORS, HELPING ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH READING AND MATH. STUDENTS EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT GROWTH AND GREATER CONFIDENCE IN SCHOOL, AND OLDER ADULTS EXPERIENCED THE JOY OF MENTORING AND TUTORING. OUR EVS FOR ALL TEAM OFFERED TWO WORKSHOPS TO HELP OLDER ADULTS LEARN ABOUT ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND WE SUPPORTED TWO ELECTRIC VEHICLE CAR SHARE PROGRAMS. SAGE ALSO CONTINUED TO SPONSOR A PROJECT OF ONE OF LEGACY FELLOWS TO PROMOTE AN INNOVATIVE WATER QUALITY TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY.
