What is SAGE? Students for the Advancement of Global Entrepreneurship (SAGE) is a global community of teenage entrepreneurs sharing a common purpose: to make the world a better place. Its mission is to help create the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders whose innovations and social enterprises address the major unmet needs of our global community. Under the direction of university student mentors/business consultants, youth use their school learning to become self-reliant, create wealth, and help others. At the end of each academic year, the SAGE teams participate in an interscholastic tournament to determine which teams were most effective. At this tournament, YOU are the REFEREE! (But you don't have to wear stripes or blow a whistle).

What Does a SAGE Judge Do? You will serve on a panel which evaluates the quality of a high school team's four-page annual report and its 15-minute multimedia presentation. SAGE judges are briefed at 8:30 am the day of the tournament. Moreover, all SAGE judges will have the opportunity to meet, interact and network with other SAGE judges, many of whom are (1) entrepreneurs, (2) business leaders, and (3) civic leaders.
