How You Can Help

Whether you are able to give an hour per day, per week, per month, or per year, we have a volunteer opportunity that fits you.
Regularly scheduled, weekly in-classroom assistance is our most commonly requested volunteer position. These volunteers are matched with a classroom for the period of a school year and provide an extra set of hands, eyes, and ears to their partner teachers. More often than not, these teacher/volunteer relationships continue year-to-year as the relationship grows.
Specialized placements offer volunteers with a particular area of expertise or interest the opportunity to participate on an episodic basis – assisting in specialized events, like a spelling bee or science fair or lending their unique knowledge to lesson plans and lectures. The wealth of experiences that our volunteers bring to the S.A.G.E.™ program is what makes it so unique and effective.
Extra-curricular club and activity placements let volunteers showcase their talents and hobbies with the students – from Scrabble and chess to knitting and gardening. Our volunteers open up new worlds to the students with whom they work.
Virtual placement opportunities are now available in response to the Covid-19 epidemic. S.A.G.E. provides volunteer training for virtual support affording opportunities to contribute while addressing health and transportation concerns.

I absolutely love working with the third grade class at Hillcrest. We work on reading comprehension. I especially enjoy the fact that I work with the entire class, either in pairs or just one individual.

Volunteer with helping students present to class

I couldn't be more pleased with my placement. The teacher I work with is outstanding and I am so happy to help her and the children in any way I can. Thank you!

S.A.G.E.™ Volunteer

I really enjoyed having the extra set of hands, as there’s NO WAY my colleagues and I could’ve given all these students the individualized help they needed without these volunteers. I truly can’t thank you enough!

S.A.G.E.™ partner teacher

Our S.A.G.E. Volunteer is very familiar with the students in my class and has great interactions with them. She will look at books with the kids, use the iPad with them, play games. We are happy to have her with us!

How It Works

We're excited to help you discover the best opportunities tailored just for you. We partner with numerous school districts and continue to expand! If you don't see your school district listed, you can request it to be considered for future opportunities.

Receive an email from S.A.G.E.™

Once we receive your request for information, our Coordinator of Volunteers will reach out to you directly. They will arrange a Zoom meeting to discuss your volunteer goals and provide insights into how S.A.G.E.™ works.
Complete the application

After the initial meeting, S.A.G.E.™ will ask you to complete an online application. The school district will then provide their specific procedures for obtaining school clearances.
Matched with a classroom

We will work with you and the school district to identify the right opportunity. From there, you and the school district will work out details on the volunteer commitment. At any time, you can let us know how the experience is going and what can be improved.
