I think you might start with asking the question, "Do you want to make a difference?" Have people come and see where they might fall in. Some people will naturally gravitate towards bigger commitments, others towards smaller ones, and some people will stop showing up. You can't really consider being a mentor a job... it takes way too much passion for that.
