I see that you are in Irvine, California. LA, right?
The list of teams willing to mentor in California is located
here.
Teams that I know are active on these boards and will have a better idea of location due to general proximity are 294 and 330.
If you need enginnering help, they will most likely be willing to help you either directly or more local help.
As for your question, some quality is better then no quality.
