How do you recruit mentors?

[kenfox]

Team 3322 is a young team with big goals. We've worked hard and might make it into the Michigan championship again this year. In this hopeful calm before a storm, it seems like a good time to reflect on where we are and where we want to be.

So much depends on a team's mentors. We need people who have time and knowledge and like to work with students. It's a tough job.

How do you recruit mentors? Where do you find them? What do you do to keep them?

I wrote a blog post early in the season about why I'm a mentor, but I'm feeling like this isn't the best way to recruit and that there are as many motivations as there are mentors.
