Our premier lgbtq+ cultural competence training program, sagecare, draws from the best minds in the field and has been shown to improve knowledge and skills among trainees.

Public outreach: sage advocates at the federal, state and local levels for public policies to improve the aging experience and access to aging Services among the growing population of lgbtq+ older people and older people living with hiv. Our federal policy program works to ensure that policymakers in congress and the administration enact policies that address the needs of lgbtq+ older people and older people living with hiv. Additionally, sage works with local lgbtq+ advocates around the country to develop and achieve their local and state policy agendas. Sage builds the capacity of local community-based organizations nationwide to provide Services and to engage in policy Advocacy that improves the lives of their local constituents, building a national lgbtq+ aging movement.
