Overview The ElderWisdomCircleTM is an online inter-generational program pairing advice seekers with a network of seniors (“Elders”) who provide empathetic, caring, and supportive advice based on their own life experiences. Elders answer advice letters via the Internet, offering readers of younger generations free, personalized advice on a wide range of topics—love and relationships, family and child-rearing, career and self-improvement, and more. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, the ElderWisdomCircle™ has more than 600 Elders (aged 60 to 105) across North America. The EWC program and our Elders have been featured on ABC, BBC, CBS, FOX, NPR and in such publications as the Wall Street Journal, Time magazine, the LA Times, Ladies Home Journal, Real Simple, Glamour and USA Today. The ElderWisdomCircle™ is an IRS 501(c)3 nonprofit member association and we are completely volunteer run. Your financial support is needed and appreciated. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation via our [ Donate ] page. Watch our video [ here ].
