VOLUNTEER
All non-profits need help to further their mission! Become a Sages & Seekers Ambassador and help us spread our programs and reach more participants and communities.
Recruit Participants
We would love to have you help us reach more participants to spread our programs across the country. The pandemic is not just making many of us sick, it is making virtually all of us lonelier, according to a Harvard report based on a national survey of 950 Americans issued in February 2021. The more participants we enroll, the more we can connect the two loneliest age groups in America. And the more ageist stereotypes we are able to shatter! Bringing generations together strengthens individuals as well as communities.
Involve a Local Business
Bringing generations together strengthens individuals as well as communities. Many large and small businesses understand the value of supporting non-profits that bring well-being to their community. Talk with us about engaging your favorite business in sponsoring a virtual or in-person Sages & Seekers Program involving your local high school or senior center. We will feature them in our newsletter and on our website!
