Our mission is to ensure our Black/African American Scholars feel a sense of community, acceptance, security, support, and inclusion while attending Long Beach City College. ​SAGE is charged with building a "Culture of Community, Belonging, Trust and Care," where Scholars are able to bring their authentic selves to school. When individuals feel like they don’t belong at school, their academic achievements and personal lives suffer.​ Creating genuine feelings of belonging and acceptance for all is a critical factor in improving achievement and performance, which leads to holistic student success.​ “We may not have chosen the time, but the time has chosen us.”​ John Lewis- Civil Rights Movement Activist​ ​
