Community Outreach

Engaging the Next Generation

Community Outreach

Some of the most meaningful programming and activities we develop at SAGE involve young people in our communities. We regularly partner with individual students and local schools to develop volunteer programs to support the Meals Delivery Service and Spend-A-Day. Intergenerational activities are vital to provide seniors with connection and purpose, while teaching young people empathy and respect for older generations.

Ways Students Can Get Involved include:

  • • Food Drives
  • • Delivery of holiday cards, crafts and placemats through Meals Delivery Service volunteers
  • • Visiting SPAD clients - playing bingo, doing crafts, sharing stories
  • • Performances from student musicians and choral groups
  • • Sensitivity Training - an interactive program helping students understand aging challenges through hands-on experiences and time with Spend-A-Day clients.
