Identifying mentor oppurtunities

[Griffin Stephens]

Hello, I am a 24-year-old military veteran and current college sophomore looking to identify potential mentor/internship opportunities. My question is this: How do I find these opportunities? 

Should I attend RE meetups and conferences? Call local RE investing firms? 

Successful investors: How could someone in my position provide value to you and your business? 

I live in Raleigh, NC if that helps at all.

Thank you for your time.
