SAGE is fostering friendship, understanding, and support between students and seniors through every call, visit, and event.
SAGE (Student Association for Geriatric Empowerment) is a student-led nonprofit that connects university volunteers with seniors and healthcare workers to foster empathy, friendship, and community.
Founded in 2020 at the University of Toronto during the COVID-19 pandemic, SAGE began with virtual Companion Calls that pair volunteers with seniors for weekly phone calls. It has since grown into a Canada-wide initiative offering in-person visits, creative workshops, and educational events. Through its chapters, SAGE continues to bridge generations, reduce isolation, and empower students to make meaningful contributions to the lives of older adults.
Join us in uplifting our frontline heroes and caring for our elderly community. Together, we can make a difference.
