We have been blessed with great parent participation. We also have mentors from several businesses with varying skills. My view is just ask around to small machine shops, welding shops, union halls and any other place that can help you in whatever you need. Do presentations at Rotary, Optimist, Lions, VFW, American Legion, etc. The more you get these students out in the community and show what they can achieve with this great program, the more opportunities you have to get mentors/sponsors. I myself was recruited at work and got hooked. I am not only a mentor, but I also sponsor the team each year. I try to tithe to the team as I would to church. It will get harder next year when I retire, but I will still aim to help as much as I can.
