Why Participate?

Sages

​This program is an opportunity to share your life experience with an interested listener. This forum engages participants in a thoughtful examination of how life is lived and how personal challenges are overcome.  By sharing your story, students develop a greater appreciation of the elderly and their legacies.  Both generations discover commonalities and shatter stereotypes you have of one another.  

Why participate in Sages & Seekers?

• Feel connected to a supportive community
• Help diminish ageism
• Socialize weekly with others
• Forge meaningful relationships
• Feel a reinstated sense of relevance
• Transfer knowledge, life lessons and values to the next generation

If you are joining a Zoom program,  don’t worry if you are not tech savvy, we can help you get set up.  All you need is to be over 60 years old, have a good tablet or computer, and a reliable WiFi connection. 

Seekers

Do you enjoy speaking with people in other generations? Do you plan to pursue a career working with older people? Do you have a community service requirement in order to graduate? Are you looking for someone to talk to who will listen and not judge what you say?  

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, Sages & Seekers is the right program for you. We are different from other programs where you may be paired with an older person. We are NOT a mentoring program.

​Yes, you will learn things from your Sage and they may provide you with advice you can use throughout your life, but you have as much wisdom to share with them as they do with you. 

You will earn 10 hours of community service for participating in our 8-week program. 

You must be between the ages of 15-24 to enroll in one of our programs.  (15 year olds must be in 10th grade or above.)
