Network for Older Adults
Network for Older Adults (formerly SAGE Maine, an affiliate of SAGE USA) is a program of EqualityMaine. Network for Older Adults (or NOA) is a statewide program that seeks to support, connect, and advocate with LGBTQ+ older adults in our community. In November 2019, NOA joined with EqualityMaine to ensure the longevity and sustainability of the network.
In the past, NOA’s members and volunteers have organized monthly dinners, movie nights, ukulele groups, and more! They also provided resources for older adults across the state in need of support and community.
NOA currently has ongoing in person and virtual programming!
