One Generation- Sages & Seekers

Sages & Seekers’ mission is to develop empathy, combat social isolation and dissolve age-related segregation within our communities, while meeting the universal and compelling need of both young adults and older adults to make sense of their lives. This is achieved by creating a sense of intergenerational community in our programs, through the art of authentic conversation.

​Sages & Seekers brings teens (Seekers) and older adults (Sages) together to share their unique gifts through authentic conversation. Our intergenerational programs are designed to develop empathy and diminish social isolation and ageism, while meeting the universal and compelling need of both teens and older adults to find meaning and purpose in their lives. Seekers develop social-emotional skills while also enhancing their interviewing, listening, writing, and public-speaking competencies. Sages feel a renewed sense of relevance and value as members of a community.
