Members of the Long Term Care Task Force have developed a curriculum to sensitize staff of assisted living institutions to the issues of their LGBT residents. Volunteers are responsible for many of the recreational activities enjoyed by SAGE's membership. Volunteer committees plan the monthly social held at the Fashion Institute of Technology and the monthly brunch that takes place at a different New York City restaurant from September through June. SAGE welcomes suggestions for new classes and activities. If you have an area of expertise you'd like to share with others, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator.
Volunteers participate in numerous ways in the areas of advocacy and outreach.
Volunteers plan and produce major SAGE fundraising events. The Women's and Men's Dances, Lifetime Achievement Awards, Street Fair and other Special Events are volunteer-driven efforts that generate support for SAGE programs. Volunteers help with reception, clerical tasks, and offer their computer know-how to support the staff's work. SAGE volunteers represent all ages, strengthening the organization's intergenerational focus and mission to combat ageism.
