Elder Circle

What if it were possible for young learners to tap into the power and comfort of elders during their learning experiences? Elder Circle connects young learners with elders in their local communities to provide warmth and encouragement. Elders are not educators, but they inspire young learners by making them feel part of a multi-generational legacy of learning.
