About Us
SAGE (Senior Action in a Gay Environment) is a social and support group of
gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders, of all ages, dedicated to serving
the needs of the maturing community.
Our goals are to enrich the lives of members of the GLBT senior community.
This is being accomplished by volunteering and sponsoring various social and
educational activities to deal with the special needs of aging. SAGE provides
opportunities to interact with members of our GLBT community.

SAGE History
Early in 1994 members of the Broward County gay community determined that the
needs of maturing gays and lesbians were not being addressed adequately by
existing organizations.
Using New York’s already established SAGE (Seniors in Action for a Gay
Environment) group as a model, local volunteers formed the necessary committees
and a SAGE Board of Directors was formed and obtained it’s Federal (501c-3)
status. SAGE of South Florida was on its way.
The fledgling group started in 1994 with about 10 members. It now has over 450
very active members and covers the Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties.
SAGE members keep the group running with their vitality, enthusiasm, and
dedication.
SAGE is for persons, whether retired or still working, who wish to add meaning
and purpose to the maturing community.
Everyone, regardless of age or status, contributes to the success of SAGE
with their energy and support. All are welcome. |
