Economic challenges have serious long-term effects on children and young adults.
The people involved in SAGE are making a difference every day. Some sponsor individuals and families to get back on their feet. Others volunteer and donate to organizations that help people gain economic security and stability and land a job. Still others serve organizations that offer micro-loans to small businesses to drive innovation and job creation in our community.
You can create economic security and opportunity as a volunteer, a trainer, or benefactor. How can you make a difference?
For more examples and inspiration, see our stories below.
Consider investing your time with nonprofit economic partners listed below. We also encourage you to learn more about SAGE's teams that focus on economic opportunity: Citizen Project, Climate Education, Mentoring, and EVs for All.
