One of the things that makes The SAGE Project, Inc. so unique is that, at its heart, SAGE is about survivors, and many SAGE staff members have first-hand experience with the issues of prostitution, addiction, and homelessness. SAGE was founded by a CSE survivor and continues to be a resource and extended family for survivors, including women and youth who are still in the sex trade and want to be safe and healthy.

Centered in its peer-centered roots and focus, SAGE offers a valuable perspective on the CSE/CSEC experience and how best to meet the needs of survivors and while eliminating the causes of CSE/CSEC.

SAGE programs serve women, men, and youth of both genders in a compassionate, supportive, judgement-free environment that is based in the SAGE staff's direct experience with commercial sexual exploitation and the issues that promote survivorship, wellness, confidence, and connection.
