What Eric Said ^^

For a "search committee" of leadership students.

Start by asking team parents if they might be able to help, or work at a company where people who might be interested work. Don't just focus on technology companies.

To help those parents, prepare a short (1 page) intro to FIRST and the team, explain what you need (without scaring them!) and abundant contact info for someone who is interested to get in touch with the team.

The start visiting companies near by, asking if you can briefly speak with an engineering manager or the Human resources department to discuss a volunteering opportunity. Take no more than 5 minutes of their time, unless they seem to invite a longer discussion.

Mentors will not just walk in your door, you need to find, inform and invite them.
