How do I Begin the Process of Finding a Mentor?

[Stephanie Cessna]

Being a novice, I am very interested and see the value in finding a mentor. I know that going to your local REI is a good resource, but during these times, my local REI isn't meeting in person and it feels harder to network and meet people... I have seen a lot of mentors selling their services on facebook and other social media platforms. Is this a good option? I don't know what a good mentor would cost and wonder how much is too much?
