The core SAGE Activity
Welcome to SAGE
SAGE is an international programme initiated at the California State University Chico USA. It is currently operating in all the continents of the world.
The SAGE mission is to help create the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders whose innovations and social enterprises address the major unmet needs of our global community.
It engages young people in a hands-on learning process on how to create wealth, help others and their communities.
SAGE was introduced in Nigeria in 2005, and it has shown that it is a potent model for educational reform, community service learning and youth
employment generation.

I laud the good work SAGE Nigeria is doing, which is acknowledged within Nigeria, particularly having won the SAGE World Cup 8 times. There's no doubt that we all have a daunting task in our hands cutting across issues and sectors, the high incidence of youth unemployment and the associated security challenges
Olusegun Obasanjo
Former -President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria
“I commend SAGE Nigeria for continuing to provide a platform where entrepreneurial dreams are not only born but nurtured into impactful realities"
Dr. Mariya Mahmoud Bunkure
Hon Minister of State FCT
"What makes this event particularly special is its commitment to not only celebrate innovation, but to incubate leadership. SAGE has created a platform where ideas are not only born, but also refined, challenged, and ultimately scaled"
