You don't need to leave the FIRST community--you can mentor in college. You can be just as involved, just with a different purpose. It's really quite satisfying. My son made the transition quite readily. He's mentoring now with his old team, but he'll mentor another team next year (I now open the bidding for a one of the San Jose teams for his services....
