SAGE Welcomes

Join a SAGE Welcome to explore what matters to you—and how to take meaningful action.

What Is a SAGE Welcome?

A SAGE Welcome is a friendly, one-hour session where you:

  • Connect with others
  • Learn about SAGE
  • Explore how to get involved
  • Start finding your civic sweet spot

We focus on issues that shape the future—education, environment, and the economy—and help connect you to real opportunities to make a difference.

Sign Up for a Welcome

Free • 1 hour • Online & in-person


Take the first step with a free one-hour welcome session designed to introduce you to who we are and what to expect. Choose to attend online or in person, connect with our team, ask questions, and get the information and guidance you need to feel confident moving forward.

Take Action Your Own Way

Bring your civic sweet spot to life by:

  • Giving your time
  • Aligning your giving and spending
  • Using your voice

We’ll help you find opportunities that match your interests—locally and beyond.
