Sages & Seekers

See what USC's Dr. Rodrigo Riveres has to say about Sages & Seekers and the impact of programs like ours on adolescents: "Throughout these life stories, children and teens can practice a deeper way of thinking and feeling, as well as forming values and beliefs that will keep guiding them as they transition to adolescence and adulthood...The conversations that adolescents have with older adults in their program help teens to connect small actions, perceptions, and decisions with big ideas." https://thethrivecenter.org/thriving-through-our-parents-st

"If we are going to succeed in ending ageism against older adults, we can’t do it by casting younger people as the enemy."

The overarchng goal of Sages & Seekers is to diminish ageism. Check out this heart-wrenching story about workplace age bias and discrimination, Duty Free, which is a sweetly woven story about embraching the unknown, vulnerability, the strength of family and discovering waht's most important in life.
