My opinion is that the best thing you can do is to subscribe to email 
lists like this one. A single mentor is good but having dozens is 
better. You might also consider joining the talk list for the 
International Association of Visually Impaired Technologists. Subscribe 
by sending a message to talk-subscribe at iavit.org. Another good list is 
the blind sys admins list. I don't have the address for that list 
memorized but it's something like blind-sysadmins at hodsonfamily.org.

There are lists for the different screen readers, jaws, orca, voiceover, 
etc. There is a list for blind mathematicians. Another for  blind linux 
users.
