How to get mentor help

Before you reach out

  • Know the project, tool, or technique you want help with.
  • Note your current level: beginner, intermediate, or advanced.
  • Pick one or two likely mentors from the directory.

Request an introduction

The directory does not publish direct mentor emails. Use the club contact for an introduction, or ask at the next meeting or open shop session so someone can match you with the right mentor quickly.
