 Volunteers are the backbone of SAGE. Without our volunteers, we wouldn't be able to offer many of the programs and services that are so important to enriching the lives of GLBT older people. No matter what type of volunteer activity you choose, volunteering is a great way to get involved with SAGE. How Do I Become a SAGE Volunteer? Attend a Volunteer Orientation The first step to becoming a SAGE volunteer is to attend a Volunteer Orientation. Volunteer Orientations are held on the second Wednesday of every month at 7:00PM in Room 107 at the LGBT Community Center, 208 W. 13th Street. Advance registration is not required, just bring yourself and a pen. Click here to see when the next Volunteer Orientation will take place. One on One Interview with SAGE Staff After you attend the volunteer orientation, you will be contacted for a one on one interview with a SAGE Community Services staff member. The purpose of this interview is to find the right volunteer placement for you at SAGE, and to answer any questions you may have. Attend a Volunteer Training In some cases, the volunteer opportunities at SAGE require initial training and may include other commitments as well. You can find out more about this at the Volunteer Orientation. If you are not able to attend a Volunteer Orientation, please send an email with your name and contact information to: volunteer@sageusa.org, or call Bertis Shankle at (212) 741-3592. What kind of volunteer opportunities are available at SAGE?
