Sister S.A.G.E:

Sister S.A.G.E.: Sister S.A.G.E. (Strengthening Advocacy for Girls’ Empowerment) is specifically geared toward the needs of girls in Bushwick. Through multicultural activities, S.A.G.E. members are provided with knowledge that will help them successfully resist historical, social, and cultural assumptions made about girls and women of color. Our forums of mutual support provide an emotionally safe space for girls to experience personal development. In addition, an understanding of collective responsibility is nurtured through character education and community service. Sister S.A.G.E. is a community conscious, action-oriented group of girls and women who actively participate in changing the world in which they live. This program operates on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Youth Center and Tuesday and Friday from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at out Beacon Program at I.S. 296.
