Go to networking events - virtually of course during a time like this. Expose yourself and meet people. Be genuine and get to know others. When you find someone you admire, build that relationship. It's a give and take - you have to also offer value in return for them to reciprocate. A lot of the time, the mentor/mentee relationship develops naturally over time.

There are actual networking circles that you can join and you will be matched up with a mentor. So if you prefer that method, you just need to join the appropriate group.
