In 2009-2010, SAGE reached approximately 750 high schools in 19 countries. With SAGE teams averaging about 20 students per team, this means we impacted 15,000 high school students worldwide.
To get an idea of how SAGE has made an impact globally, we invite you to visit a few of the web sites created by our SAGE programs in other countries and states:

Because non-profit organizations like SAGE (which in and of itself is a social enterprise) do not have a “stock exchange” to measure market value, it is extremely difficult to measure effectiveness. However, we must provide evidence of our performance. Collins (Collins, Jim. 2005. Good to Great and the Social Sectors: A Monograph to Accompany Good to Great, Boulder, Colorado) states that it does not matter so much whether or not results can be quantified; rather, what matters is that quantitative or qualitative evidence of progress be rigorously assembled.
