Re: Attn: Present & Future College Students, Think carefully before you mentor
It's also important to note that staying involved with FIRST does not mean you have to mentor a team. Most areas are looking for volunteers, and there are a number of ways to help teams in your area without beong a full time mentor-- for example, most teams are always looking for people to run their Chairman's presentations by.
Volunteering or generally experiencing FIRST outside of the context of a team are valuable-- not just from a "bringing something to the team," but also for gaining a broader perspective and expanding your personal network.
