Re: Attn: Present & Future College Students, Think carefully before you mentor
My high school team was mentored by Ohio State engineering students. They were some of the most inspirational people I've ever met. I still keep in touch with several of them now as they've gone on to PhDs, jobs, and so forth. They're very valuable connections and I really enjoyed the chance to get to know them and learn from them. Not being very far removed from the high school experience, they understood how we learned, how we worked, and could adjust their mentorship appropriately.

Also, if you talk to Woodie and Dean, they want nothing more than to figure out how to get more college students involved as mentors.
