SAGE is the country’s largest and oldest organization dedicated to
improving the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
(LGBT+) older people. In partnership with its constituents and
allies, SAGE works to achieve a high quality of life for LGBT+
older people, supports and advocates for their rights, fosters a
greater understanding of aging in all communities, and promotes
positive images of LGBT+ life in later years. SAGE has worked
tirelessly for over 40 years on behalf of LGBT+ older people.
Building off the momentum of the Stonewall uprising and the
emerging LGBT+ civil rights movement, a group of activists came
together to ensure that LGBT+ older people could age with respect
and dignity. SAGE formed a network of support for LGBT+ elders
that’s still going and growing today. SAGE is more than just an
organization. It is a movement of loving, caring activists
dedicated to providing advocacy, services, and support to older
members of the LGBT+ community.
SAGE operates at the intersection of LGBT+ and aging experiences.
Its work ensures that all LGBT+ older people have just and fair
access to the opportunities they deserve and are free from ageism.
SAGE is a learning organization rooted in community. It values
collaborative teamwork internally and partnership externally. It
places a premium on robust communication, and on listening to and
learning from each other. It is committed to transformative change
for LGBT+ older people. As such, SAGE values courageous creativity,
openness, thoughtful risk-taking, and flexibility. SAGE is grounded
in the spirit of "nothing about us without us." It listens
respectfully to the full breadth of voices of LGBT+ older people
and seeks to positively impact all LGBT+ older people. Its work is
data-driven, disciplined, and responsive to change. It works hard,
continually improves, and is accountable for excellent
outcomes.
SAGE believes that it has a responsibility to make the principles
of diversity, equity, and inclusion a centerpiece of its purpose,
its people, and its work. Such principles will allow it to
continually grow its relevance to SAGE's stakeholders in a diverse
world; utilize the contributions of diverse individuals to
strengthen all aspects of SAGE's work as the country's leader on
LGBT+ aging; provide it with a larger pool of shared understanding
thus enabling it to make better decisions; and increase its ability
to recognize its biases and thus reduce the likelihood that it will
be influenced by those biases. SAGE is committed to the principles
of diversity, equity, and inclusion in providing services to its
constituencies; in creating its Board; in hiring, training, and
advancing its staff and volunteers; and in all that it does.
A bachelor's degree is required for this position as is at least
ten years of related experience, preferably at a nonprofit
organization with at least 100 employees. All applications must be
accompanied by a cover letter and résumé. Cover letters should be
responsive to the mission of SAGE and express a commitment to a
diverse, anti-racist, equitable, and inclusive organization.
