Actually, the common spelling is "counselor"-- a "councilor" is related to politics. I believe you are asking about working with the elderly or aged population. There is a growing need for trained counselors to work with an aging population. People who are counselors of the elderly (and most older people no longer like to be called "elderly"-- they prefer the euphemism "senior citizens" or "seniors") provide advice and assistance, helping aging people to access the services they need, and helping them to live a more fulfiling life in their senior years. Trained counselors in the field of gerontology (working with aged populations) tend to have at least a college degree and often a master's.

But if you are asking about a "council of elders," in some cultures, the older members are the ones in charge, and they make the important decisions. This was very common back in Bible times, and some third-world countries still use this form of government, as Native American and Inuit tribes did as well for generations. The elders tend to be the oldest and most respected men in the tribe, and those with a dispute come before them to be heard and to have their situation resolved, much like you would see at a jury trial.

What is the possessive form of elders?

Oh, dude, it's elders'! Like, you just add an apostrophe after the 's' when you're talking about something belonging to a group of elders. So, if you're talking about the elders' wisdom or the elders' meeting, that's how you show possession. Easy peasy!
