Our team relies primarily on parents for mentors as well. Every year on the first Monday of build season, we have a "parent night," where we show all the parents the game video and walk them through a typical build season. We then invite them to stay the rest of the night and sit in on our brainstorming sessions, and invite any who are interested to come back and mentor.

Another more recent source of mentors for us is team alumni. Your ability to do this may depend on your location relative to good universities. Since we are close to Indianapolis, team members can come back from Purdue University and IUPUI fairly easily to mentor.
