SAGE’s Mission
To advance entrepreneurship education and community service-learning around the world, emphasizing ethical business practices, social responsibility, civic engagement and environmental awareness.
What is SAGE?
SAGE is an international network that links secondary school student organizations, like Junior Achievement or Economics classes, and student government, to business consultants from local universities, community colleges and businesses.
Then, at the end of April or May…………
• Your team writes up a brief summary of your projects (with help from your university mentor)
• You create a dazzling PPT or multimedia presentation• Your SAGE team travels to the state competition to
present your projects to a panel of influential business and civic leaders
• The BEST team wins prize money and the right to represent your school in the SAGE USA National Competition!
Why Is This Project So Important?
• SAGE encourages a higher level of understanding of financial and economic concepts in high schools
• Also, a recent Gallup survey found that, even though 70% of high school students want to start their own business, more than half acknowledged that their understanding of business issues is poor.
• Many students want to “give back” to the community; SAGE gives them a chance to use their talents, creativity and imagination in choosing what programs to serve.
