Mentors with "JE" next to their names can offer assistance in both English and Japanese. &pre=1;&image=ng01;&style=gyb17;Finding a Mentor&style; &style=spacer02; &style;   &style=jwb15b;Using Help Desk&style; &style=spacer01; &style;   Select "Help Desk" from the main menu, then select "Mentor Search" to see a list of currently active mentors. &style=spacer03; &style;   &style=jwb15b;Using Search&style; &style=spacer01; &style;   To find mentors nearby, use the Search function to search "Current Area."
