Mentors often play a crucial role in helping people achieve their goals. Now, Facebook wants to help foster those relationships all in one place.

It will begin as a pilot program starting with just two nonprofits and focus areas: iMentor (https://imentor.org/), for education mentorship, and the International Rescue Committee (https://www.rescue.org/), for mentorship in crisis recovery.* Read more...
