I got involved helping team 4791 along with about 5 other Notre Dame students when they asked one of the coordinators here to ask around for volunteers. Your responses from college students may vary, but there's bound to be at least one student who'd love to help.
Team 2607's mentors were almost solely parents, the team really focused on roping in parents, namely by showing how they could really use anyone (even parents who have no experience with engineering can greatly help with the business aspect of a team, for example.) Team 2607 even asked people only associated with the school and not with the team for assistance, which led to two of their most valued mentors (the first person we ever nominated for the WFA was a parent of someone not on the team who is still mentoring even after both of his children graduated, and the second was the husband of a teacher with very diverse engineering talents.)
