Elly Katz

Elly Katz is the Founder and Executive Director of Sages & Seekers. Sages & Seekers was created in 2009, when Elly, at that time living in Boston, was inspired to leave her career as a graphic designer to dedicate herself to diminishing ageism. She initiated an afterschool service-learning project at the Noble & Greenough School in Dedham, Massachusetts, and by the following year, four private schools were piloting the program.

The mission of Sages and Seekers is to develop empathy, combat social isolation and dissolve age-related segregation within our communities while meeting the universal and compelling need of both young adults and elders to make sense of their lives. This is achieved by creating a sense of intergenerational community in their programs, through the art of authentic conversation.
