Hello, I am an spanish girl trying to learn web development. I’m learning how to design a website with css and boostrap. i would like to learn JS and a framework, such as React eventually. My question is how do you find a mentor? Is there any way?

Hey @ainor,

Codeacademy’s free trial of pro version used to include a 30min mentorship talk with one of their members. It was one year ago though and I don’t know if they still do it but it’s worth checking out 🙂

networking, getting to know people in the field. It can happen that someone takes someone else under their wings. If it’s not a relationship that develops through time, then it has to be a payed thing

You have a ton of mentors here in the forum. There are several women here and even Spanish language sections.

Welcome to our community and happy coding!

There are a few sites out there that can help – [codementor.io](http://codementor.io) isn’t a bad place and where I’ve picked up a few mentees in the past. Best place to look is Linkedin, you can search for folks that list mentoring as something they do usually.
