I didn't realize the biases I've had. Well, I never had a bad opinion of teens, it's just ... I saw them as a group. For example, if I had walked into the cafeteria down there I'd notice there was a group of kids without thinking of them as individuals. And they are. They're their own people with unique gifts." - Gary, Sage 2022 Sages & Seekers is a free 8-week intergenerational program designed to bring together teens or young adults, and adults aged 55 or older to share their unique gifts. Older adults have a vital and important role; they are the keepers of the memories and the wisdom. You, our Elders, have so much to offer the world; your maturity and experience allows for a larger perspective of life from which the younger generations can learn. The goal of this program is to pair you with a local high school teen or college aged young adult with whom you will meet once a week, during school hours, to share your life experiences. Past participants rave about the program! Your commitment involves 8 weekly meetings of approximately one hour. Facilitators provide both Sages & Seekers with question and conversation prompts ahead of one-on-ones, and as needed throughout the program. All you need to do is share who you are, and your Seeker will weave your conversations into an essay honoring you. Many students say that they like having a real conversation with someone! Sages report feeling more connected to their community. The presentations on the final week are a celebration. The Seekers will read the essays they have written about you and the experience. You are encouraged to bring guests to the Presentation, to share your experience. Questions?
