At SAGE, we believe the possibilities are endless... OUR DAY PROGRAMS ARE EXCELLENT! sEE WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER!


Alternative Day Supports
Our goal is to enable each individual to discover and meet his or her potential for independence and inclusion in the community. Because traditional Community Day Programs may not meet an individual's unique desires and needs, SAGE utilizes the Person Centered Planning Process to design and implement customized programs. Our emphasis is on developing opportunities for community inclusion, increasing independent living skills and developing natural supports and friendships. We typically provide alternative programs Monday thru Friday during daytime hours. Hours and days of support are flexible to meet individual needs and are designed in collaboration with the individual, their family, the Division of Developmental Disabilities, school districts, Vocational Rehabilitation and other appropriate funding agencies.

Campo del Oeste
The Campo de Oeste program is a mentor-based, experiential environmental education program for youth ages 10-14, which takes place on a 5-acre urban ranch. Youth develop skills around sustainability, community responsibility and teamwork while participating in ranch and environmental activities. Participants also develop their own service learning projects that provide an environmental benefit for the community. The program utilizes a mentor-based structure to teach personal responsibility, increase self esteem and develop skills beneficial to making healthy life choices.   Typical projects include building accessible garden beds, setting up urban chicken coops, installing water harvesting systems within the community, as well as growing local, healthy food for low income residents. The program operates year-round during weekends and holidays and weekdays during the summer months. Please visit http://www.campourbano.org/ and click on the Campo de Oeste link to learn more.
 

Campo Urbano
