Sage Nation Society
~ Where the Spirit goes to find Hope ~
SAGE NATION SOCIETY is a grassroots, Indigenous-led organization dedicated to supporting Indigenous and people of majority youth through culturally grounded, community-based care. Rooted in the Seven Sacred Teachings values, we are committed to walking alongside young people as they navigate complex transitions in housing, wellness, identity, and care. Our approach centers on consistency, respect, and relational support, recognizing and honouring the inherent strength and potential of each youth we serve.
​
At SAGE NATION, we understand that healing and empowerment begin with connection to self, community, and culture. We focus on creating safe, inclusive spaces where young people can reconnect with their roots, access holistic and meaningful supports, and build a sense of true belonging. Through collaborative programming and community partnerships, we aim to foster resilience, amplify youth voices, and contribute to healthier, more equitable communities for all.
Who We Are
Mission Statement:
Established in 2021, SAGE NATION SOCIETY is committed to supporting Indigenous and people of majority youth across Turtle Island through culturally grounded, community-based care. Our mission is to create safe, inclusive spaces where young people can access vital resources - housing, income support, employment opportunities, and cultural programs essential to their well-being and self-determination. Guided by the Seven Sacred Teachings, our work is rooted in the understanding that strong, resilient communities are built through care, connection, and consistency. We walk alongside youth navigating complex life transitions, offering support, honouring their lived experiences, cultural identities, and inherent rights and strengths.
