Resources and Guides
Created by the Eldera mentors in partnership with the Eldera team to empower and support new mentors to make an impact in the world!
Eldera Resources and Guides
This page contains resources and guides that have been produced by existing Eldera mentors in order to help new mentors get ready for their Eldera experience. We highly recommend that you start with reading the Eldera Resource Guide to get all the basics down before your first session, and refer to the videos as needed.
The Eldera Resource Guide
Written by Eldera mentors for Eldera mentors, this is where your journey starts! The PDF guide will walk you through everything from explaining the process you’ll go through, preparing for your first session, getting setup with technology and connecting with the community.
Video Guides
