SAGE Ambassador’s Creed

As a SAGE ambassador I have a rare opportunity to fulfill a personal dream and create an honorable legacy, namely, by helping to make manifest a vision which I share with SAGE, which is to bring benefit to humankind by enabling people everywhere to fulfill their potential for individual self-reliance and freedom, community sustainability and stewardship, transnational understanding and cooperation, and maturity and timeless wisdom.

I shall strive to avail myself fully of this opportunity by enabling youth and young adults to

• learn about SAGE,
• participate in SAGE,
• start up business and social ventures which become replicable and self-funding,
• develop into dedicated and indefatigable business and social entrepreneurs.

To bring these benefits to our emerging generation, I shall

• recruit or assist in recruiting a SAGE ambassadorial team which would subscribe to this creed;
• facilitate the underwriting for SAGE in the city or country in which I represent SAGE;
• invite youth and young adults to avail themselves of SAGE;
• invite professionals to mentor the youth and young adults in SAGE and evaluate business and social ventures so that they operate optimally;
• work cooperatively with governments, institutions, and other organizations so as to advance all programs consistent with the guiding philosophies of SAGE.

At all times, I shall

• teach and advise others on the Six Pillars of Character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship;
• integrate the Six Pillars of Character into all my activities;
• teach and utilize the best practices of socially-responsible business and social entrepreneurship, so that an example be set for youth and young adults;
• teach that community and compassion come first for socially-responsible businesses and social entrepreneurs;
• cooperate with SAGE so that the SAGE vision be fulfilled.
