Considering Volunteering with Project SAGE?
Project SAGE volunteers support people in a wide range of practical, meaningful ways. Some answer phones or help with outreach. Others support families by accompanying clients to appointments, helping set up safer housing, or assisting with early childhood programs. Behind the scenes, volunteers also help organize donations and keep our office running smoothly. While the work can be challenging at times, volunteers often tell us it feels deeply human, grounded, and impactful.
Becoming a Project SAGE volunteer begins with training. Our training is designed to be thoughtful, supportive, and realistic — offering practical skills alongside a deeper understanding of the work. Throughout the process, we emphasize that volunteers are never expected to do this alone.
“Yes, it’s tough material — but as a team, you make it accessible.”
— Project SAGE Volunteer
For many people, volunteering becomes a meaningful chapter that stays with them — whether it leads to continued service, professional growth, or a deeper connection to the community.
“My time at Project SAGE had a profound impact on me and helped clarify the work I feel called to do.”
— Former Project SAGE Volunteer
