Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship (SAGE) works to encourage, enliven, and reward entrepreneurial visions and projects among high school students. It is a free, non-membership service available to all advocates of education in private and social entrepreneurship. More specifically:
SAGE’s mission is to advance ethical business practices, social responsibility, civic engagement and environmental awareness worldwide through high-school level youth participation in entrepreneurship and community service.
Youth use their school learning to become self-reliant, create wealth, and help others. SAGE provides high-school students from throughout the world with an opportunity to complete business and social ventures to improve their communities and showcase their efforts on the world stage.
To this effect, they held the fourth annual SAGE USA competition this year (see this Inc.com article for details). More S.A.G.E. on the web:
- Santa Monica Daily Press reporting on the competition
- Interview with the founder of SAGE, Dr. Curtis DeBerg
- Resources and manuals on how to host your own SAGE competition or how to start a SAGE program at your educational institution
