Sage-ARTS Collaborative
The Sage-ARTS Collaborative is a partnership between the Sage Project and A Reason To Survive. Through this collaboration, SDSU music students are afforded valuable teaching opportunities to at-risk children, teens, and young adults in National City.

Sage-Schools Collaborative
The Sage-Schools Collaborative is a research-to-practice partnership between the Sage Project, the San Diego Unified School District, and SDSU’s Phonological Typologies Lab. Through this partnership, we are collaborating with speech-language pathologist Jennifer Taps Richard and other school practitioners on a sustainable model of evidence-based management of speech sound disorders in the schools. The research collaboration, which launched in 2018, has been approved by the San Diego Unified School District Research and Evaluation Office and by the SDSU Institutional Review Board.
