In 2012 in New York City, Services and Advocacy for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Elders (SAGE) will open the nation’s first full-time senior center for older adults.
Drawing on SAGE’s 32 years of experience in designing programs for Services & Advocacy LGBT elders, the center will for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender Elders partner with community organizations in the five boroughs to extend affirming services to LGBT older New Yorkers who do not regularly access their local senior centers for fear of discrimination, and to those who may not know of SAGE’s current services. “SAGE is honored to have this opportunity to strengthen the programs and services we offer to address the unique needs of LGBT older people in New York City,” said Michael Adams, Executive Director of SAGE. “Opening The SAGE Center has been our dream for many years. We are thrilled to be part of a bold initiative that emphasizes innovation in aging services.”
The SAGE Center is part of New York City’s Innovative Senior Center program, a new initiative by Mayor Michael Bloomberg to create centers that address the needs of historically underserved elder populations, with creative needs-based programming that will serve as models for the “senior center of the future.”
The new center will offer hot meals as well as programs covering issues from health and wellness to workplace skills, comprehensive social services, a wide range of social activities, and much more.
