This has been my strategy. While I haven't been graduated for as long as some of you, I've experienced the same feelings. Being 3 hours away from FRC 1257, I have started working with FRC 2791, which is a mere fifteen minute drive. They have a couple niches where a mentor with my skillset fits in well.
In addition, I've maintained a presence on my high school team's Slack channels, where most digital team discussions happen. I respond to questions and offer guidance when needed. It's a nice way to help out over the distance, though it wouldn't work if 1257 didn't use Slack to begin with.
