Talk to other teams in your area. We found a wonderful mentor from talking to other teams. We are rookies, and in November, we had sent out an email to several local teams just looking for advice. After about five days, we got an email from one of the captain's dads saying that he knew a guy who would might want to help. He forwarded the email to his friend, and a few days later, his friend emailed us. Four months later, he has been one of our best mentors!

I completely agree with what everyone else says about asking college students, parents, and sponsors. If they say that they cannot help, you could try asking if they know anyone who could help. Good luck!
