# How to Use This Guide This Gitbook exists to help the participants of our Portland OWASP mentorship program. We hope to use it, refine it, and make it helpful to other OWASP members looking for some guidance in mentoring folks across a range of aptitudes. If you are interested in helping out, please email . The resources are broken up into two sections for now: [Application Security](https://owasp-pdx.gitbook.io/owasp-pdx-mentorship-resources/application-security/overview) and [Penetration Testing](https://owasp-pdx.gitbook.io/owasp-pdx-mentorship-resources/penetration-testing/overview). Each section contains an overview briefly describing the section and skills that will be covered in the mentorship materials. The sections also contain suggested walkthrough materials based on mentee skill level. Ultimately, successful mentorship pairs learn how to communicate goals, aspirations, and activities that align with these to grow together. These are suggestions to help you find your way and develop your own mentorship cadence. Happy Mentoring! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
