I try to join online communities (discord, these days), and be helpful and welcoming to newcomers. This often leads to me offering to pair program or do a zoom call, and provide some perspective on either my career, a specific technology, or just some concrete code advice.
With zoom, it's possible to do this with people all around the globe, which is extremely gratifying.
Since I'm at relative liberty to share parts of what I'm working on, I'll often show what my day to day looks like, which can remove a lot of fear to beginners and junior professionals. There are pages like coding coach, although I don't tend to get that much engagement on there (not that I'm actively trying to) compare to chat rooms.
