Mentorship allows you to share your wealth of knowledge and experience with aspiring game developers, designers, and other industry hopefuls. Through mentoring, you can help others avoid common pitfalls and provide insights that only come from years of experience. It’s also a chance to stay connected to the industry, keeping up with new trends and technologies, which can be incredibly fulfilling. On a personal level, mentoring also helps to fill your own cup, offering fresh perspectives and the satisfaction of contributing to the industry's future growth. Mentorship enriches both mentor and mentee, creating a legacy of knowledge and inspiration that extends beyond your active professional years.

Being a mentor is being a guide and sharing your knowledge, wisdom and skills to people willing to learn. A mentor can be a conduit to many opportunities, opening to knowing more people and even helping people to be better than their current state in the future. This is a two way situation where mentees and mentors work hand-in-hand to forge something that work between them, adapting a growth mindset and being teachable are the important components here.

Nonprofit organizations within the gaming industry often need skilled volunteers. Whether it's helping with events, fundraising, or educational programs, your involvement can make a tangible difference. Look for nonprofits that align with your values and see where your skills can be of service. This type of networking not only benefits the organization but can also introduce you to like-minded individuals who share your passion for gaming.

For me, I started out serving on several Boards, then transitioned more to financial support and assisting with the annual fundraisers. If you can't contribute financially...volunteer! Volunteers are the true heroes.
