Re: 17 y/o Mentor?
Celia, I believe you mentioned somewhere you're coming to UMich? There's a ton you can do to stay in FIRST without mentoring a team. We've started a student org here (FAMNM/FIRST Alumni and Mentors Network at Michigan) to support local teams and we'll be holding workshops and events including a kickoff this January, and we'd be thrilled to have you help out.
If you are specifically interested in mentoring, there's about a dozen teams within the vicinity of Ann Arbor (obviously a much nicer commute), plus a program that provides a workspace and college mentors to Detroit-area teams. I know you may feel a special tug to keep working with your team, but I think you'll find it beneficial to your personal development to branch out into a new team. I know I did.
Either way, make sure to come to a FAMNM meeting (I can PM you the details if you're interested) and we can talk.
