Sages & Seekers | Wasatch County
Sages: (55+) & Seekers (Ages 13 - 18)
Wasatch County Library and the Live Like Sam Foundation are proud to bring the Sages & Seekers Program to Heber Valley and Summit County communities. Sages & Seekers is an intergenerational storytelling program that pairs teens ages 13-18 (Seekers) with older adults ages 60+ (Sages) to have honest and authentic conversations.
Through this unique initiative, both generations create genuine connections and learn from each other. Meeting once a week over the span of eight weeks, these S&S Pairs share experiences, insights, and stories that bridge the gap between age groups. Time is also made for each generation's participants to get to know one another, forming greater community, support networks, and friendships!

Sages Testimonial:
“I was pleasantly surprised by how much I looked forward to the weekly gatherings. I heard the fresh voices of young people and their ideas mixed in with the thoughts of seniors who had lived extraordinary lives.
I heard a lot of laughter and exclamations; I came to know mature & talented young people who make me excited about the future.”
