Contact local colleges. That is where nearly every team I know of gets many of their mentors. Engineering majors there will probably be glad to help out.
However, this quote makes it sound as though you are, as teams in this situation go, doing very well

The older members of the team have, year after year, organized numerous events to train younger members and pass down knowledge.

One of the spotlighted quotes on chiefdelphi is "your second year in FIRST is your first year as a mentor." It sounds like these members are following this very well. Alumni of FIRST can often be the best mentors. If all else fails, request departing seniors who plan on remaining close to your school to come back and mentor for another year or two. I know of teams who have won regionals, chairman's award, etc, with only students and former students on the team.
Best of luck with your team!
