While much remains uncertain, we know the value of human connection. For SAGE and LGBT pioneers across the country, the pandemic eliminated in-person group interaction. SAGEConnect links LGBT elders with their broader community, reducing isolation and promoting well-being. SAGEConnect matches volunteers who can commit to calling their match at least once per week with older LGBT people who are interested in receiving a call. Share your day and share your stories.

If you or someone you know would benefit from SAGEConnect, call (929) 484-4160. To register online use this LINK.
