Even with three mentees it it taking as little as 10 minutes a week of my time.

It is all on slack so l can login at a time that is suited to me. If I see anything useful to them, I fire it over. They are always grateful and very appreciative of help. It is a wonderful thing to do as a professional to be able to give something back.
