Sage Upstate

SAGE/Upstate is an intergenerational and culturally diverse organization committed to meeting the specialized needs of older lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender persons in the central New York region. SAGE/Upstate strives to provide its members with beneficial activities and emotional support (and, whenever able, offer specific social services) within a friendly and safe environment that affirms equality without regard to age, gender, race, religion, ethnicity or social status. This is accomplished through educational, social and service programs and by facilitating access to other supportive networks and services. As a not-for-profit, tax-deductable entity SAGE/Upstate is further resolved to educate the community at large about the needs of older gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender persons, to embrace and promote their rights in the community at large and to foster awareness, respect and acceptance of those individuals as they grow through the aging experience within the public, the social service and medical communities.
