I’m interested in facilitating a SAGE group. What do I need to know?

Facilitating a SAGE group is a very fulfilling experience, and is easier than you may think. As a SAGE group facilitator, it is not expected that you be the most experienced person in the group to facilitate; everyone will get encouragement, support, and accountability from each other and the curriculum will be the “sage” that the group members learn from. In most ways, you will be participating in the SAGE group experience just as much as the other members!

Instead, the primary responsibilities for a SAGE group facilitator are to:

• Communicate the expectations that are common across all SAGE groups when the group first meets
• Facilitate the meeting agenda (discussion questions will be provided to you)
• Model meeting the expectations by having progress to share and having done the homework each meeting
• Check in with your group between meetings and facilitate rescheduling meetings when needed

In most ways, you will be participating in the SAGE group experience just as much as the other members! If you would like more information about facilitating a SAGE group, send an email with your questions to matthew.j.colon -at- gmail -dot- com.
