Re: Stress, burnout, and stepping back

Yeah, what Al said.

I have been mentoring my own team entering it's 15th season. I have been a FIRST Senior Mentor for going on 4 years. I ALWAYS tell graduating high schoolers to concentrate on your college education FIRST! I do not even allow my former Rosie students to come back until after they have that degree. (socially, yes, as a mentor, no)

If you want to still stay involved in some manner, volunteer at an event. Be a robot inspector, be a field reset, pick a role and fill it at an event. It's a great way to be involved without a lot of time commitment.
