Click for Volunteer Link to Elder Wisdom Circle
On my morning scroll for volunteer opportunities, I came across this great post:
”Do you have wisdom to share? Are you 60 or better and enjoy offering guidance to younger generations?”
This California-based VIRTUAL program for elders helps connect younger readers with personalized and free advice on topics including love and relationships, family and child rearing, career, self-improvement, etc.
Personally, I have been fortunate to benefit from the advice of elder friends and clients and am forever thankful. I know it meant to lot for them to share their wisdom as well!

If you have a story about an elder’s advice that helped you or vice versa, please share! I believe in the power of human connection:)
