About SAGE

Our Vision

Creating better futures through social enterprises, socially responsible businesses and community service. ​

Our Mission

​To help create the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders whose innovations and social enterprises address the major unmet needs of our global community.​

SAGE - an acronym for Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship. It is a nonprofit Transnational Social Movement Organization initiated at the California State University Chico USA by Professor Curtis Deberg. It engages young people in a hands-on learning process on how to create wealth, help others and their communities. Since the adoption of the SAGE Programme in Ghana in 2005, it has shown that it is a potent model for educational reform, youth re-orientation, community service learning and youth employment generation. SAGE Ghana's strategy is to prepare and empower Ghanaian youth through a youth entrepreneurship and community service programme, while simultaneously emphasizing the importance of financial literacy, ethical business practices, civic engagement and environmental awareness.​

SAGE Model
