http://perpetual.education is a design/programming school. We like to be part of the discussion over here at Dev.to / We have time-slots for free conversations for career advice IRL : )
In our experiences - it's easy to say you want a mentor - and it's really hard for people to actually show up. We've had the best luck - from both sides / when we put money on the table. It's weird... but it's like physical "respect." When you pay for it - you show up. We like to help people / and we also like to pay people. In the past - some of us have just reached out to our favorite internet personalities and said "Can I pay you to talk to me for 1 hour a week?" and we did - and it was good. We also like using CodeMentor - from both angles. For example, we don't use Rails - but sometimes... we have to - and so, we'll just get a rails expert to hang out with us for a few hours. That saves us thousands of dollars.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
