Currently, SAGEVenture provides paid consulting and training for businesses that serve LGBTQ+ elders through its SAGECare, SAGE’s LGBTQ+ cultural competency credentialing program.
As SAGEVenture expands, we are looking to create innovative fee-for-service models that improve the lives of LGBTQ+ elders. Interested?
