About Us
Inspire, Connect, Engage
Sage Pathways offers a virtual tutoring and mentoring Program to Black k-12 scholars. Our scholars are matched with college students who provide ELA (English Language Arts) and math support. Our program offers personalized academic support to scholars. Our tutors/mentors possess the necessary content knowledge paired with direct feedback from each scholar’s teacher to provide one-on-one instruction to help students achieve their academic and social goals. Our tutors/mentors also offer guidance and support to help our scholars develop their skills to succeed in school and beyond. We believe our scholars deserve access to high-quality education and support, regardless of their background or financial status.
Sage Pathways’ advocacy focus will be on the rights of our scholars and their families in the education system. We aim to assist scholars and their families as they navigate and become informed participants in our complex educational system. Sage seeks to ensure that our scholars have access to a high-quality education that prepares them for success in college, career, and life. We collaborate with families, educators, and policymakers to promote policies and practices that support student achievement and well-being. Our services include advocacy, training, and support for families.
Mission

“How powerful would our world be if we had kids who were not afraid to take risks, who were not afraid to think, and who had a champion? Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them. Who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can be.
Is this job tough? You bet-cha. But it is not impossible. We can do this. We’re educators. We’re born to make a difference.”
Rita Pierson ~ Educator, Believer, and Champion
