Sage Engaged began as an orientation activity for first-year students, but starting in 2017 the day of service was expanded to include the entire campus community.

The event, held annually, is a chance for students to get to know their immediate community, to become involved, and to learn about local volunteer opportunities.

Russell Sage College has partnered with:

  • YWCA
  • CEO
  • Troy Boy’s and Girl’s Club
  • Joseph’s House
  • Capital City Rescue Mission
  • Beth Emeth
  • Ronald McDonald House
  • Equinox
  • Parsons Child and Family Center
  • and more …

Each nonprofit organization has a specific needs. Students and the Sage community work in shifts to meet those needs. Some examples of service projects include:

  • putting together welcome bags, backpacks and letters
  • cleaning, painting, gardening and baking
  • providing help with after-school and childcare programs
  • painting crosswalks in Troy
