I am new. How can I find others to meet with in person to mentor and help me fully comprehend everything before taking my oath?

I am new to this group, and am in the process of reading through the website. I take very seriously the commitment that I would be making. How can I find a group or others in my community who would be willing to mentor me, so I fully understand before taking an oath?

How can I meet more other more experienced people in my community?
