SAGECollab Circles

Groups and organizations that serve or advocate with older LGBTQ+ people will benefit from becoming a part of SAGECollab. Together, we exchange ideas, explore public policy changes, and inspire each other to better support and empower older LGBTQ+ people everywhere. Our SAGECollab Circles provide members with meetings, webinars, chances to interact and learn from national experts and their peers, and much more.

Advocacy Circle

These are collaboration opportunities for organizations from across the country that are, or are interested in, advocating for policy and legislative changes at the federal, state and local level that improve the aging experience for LGBTQ+ elders and older people living with HIV. Learn what organizations are doing to fight for LGBTQ+ aging policies and collaborate with other organizations in your advocacy goals.

To join the Advocacy Circle, you will need to submit an application to be a SAGECollab partner. 

Community Engagement Circle

A learning opportunity for organizations that are committed to outreach and engagement of diverse LGBTQ+ elders. Listen and learn from leaders in the community who have experience with engaging LGBTQ+ elders of color, uniting generations, addressing the needs of trans elders and older people living in rural communities, supporting LGBTQ+ families and their care partners and other expertise to improve the lives of LGBTQ+ older people everywhere.
