Supporting Adolescents with Guidance and Employment (SAGE)
This is a multi-component, community-based program to prevent violent behavior among African American adolescents. The objective is to reduce violence rates in at-risk and vulnerable populations.
The program integrated three approaches:
1) Counseling and mentoring focused on the African-American population;
2) Vocational training and job placement; and
3) Extracurricular entrepreneurship training.
