Where can I find a JavaScript mentor?

I've been on a self-learning path for quite some time now. I've learned HTML,CSS,JS. I've built some small apps to consolidate what I've learned but I feel stuck now.

What are some of the places where I can find a JavaScript mentor?

Thanks in advance!

I'm assuming you're not working as a coder yet - obviously you should be getting your code reviewed at work if you are :)

Have a look around for local javascript meetups, they're often a good place to start. Some literally have directories for mentors, events for juniors, etc. Depends on your location of course.
There are some online options like codereview.stackexchange.com
You might like the feedback you get from participating in coding challenges, eg. www.codewars.com
If you're game, you could start doing small contributions to open source projects. Your mileage on code review will vary massively; have a look at the feedback other people are getting on a project before you commit your time to it. But if you find a project with an active community, with good (friendly but useful) feedback on PRs, it might be a way to get feedback on your coding style.
