Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship, or SAGE, is a global, non-profit organization that connects secondary school student organizations to mentors from local universities and businesses. Its mission is to advance youth entrepreneurship and community service around the world, emphasizing ethical business practices, social responsibility, civic engagement and environmental awareness.

[edit] Overview

SAGE Global's Vision: "A global community of teenage entrepreneurs sharing a common purpose: to make the world a better place."

SAGE Global creates better futures through business entrepreneurship, social enterprise and community service. High school students use their school learning to become self-reliant, create wealth, and help others. These SAGE students are linked with college mentors and business advisory board members to provide guidance and/or experience in the completion of business and social ventures to improve their communities.

Each year regional and national competitions are held around the world for these students to showcase their efforts on a world stage to the business, civic, and academic community. It is a free, non-membership service organization available to all advocates of education in private and social entrepreneurship. SAGE Global is currently active on 5 continents in 18 countries, and reaches thousands of students who aren't talking about changing the world, they're doing it!
