My Mentee told me there are minimal "West Coast" mentors. That I was one of the only ones. So... Sign up to be a mentor! We just have 45 minute zoom meetings every other week. Big breakthroughts for her and I feel great being able to help. We're up to 5 badges and 5000 points, on the road to certification. It's fun and easy IMPO.
