In college, after a failed attempt to mentor a team freshman year*, I chose to stay involved by volunteering at events. Depending on the position you sign up for you are still very much in touch with the rules of the game and what did/didn’t change. This allowed me to stay involved without letting my studies fail* or being a “fly-by mentor”
*College is harder than High School, and at least for me I found that there was not enough me to do it all. The end result was that instead of my studies taking a priority and FIRST going on the back burner, the opposite happened and my studies we’re negatively affected by my FIRST involvement.
This is just what happened to me, I am not trying to open the can of worms that is “should college students mentor”.
