A bit more details: A year ago, we launched the first edition of the program as a pilot. Based on interest, we created eight mentorship groups and introduced the people to each other. We evaluated the program with a survey at the end of the year. Results showed people were very enthusiastic about the project, but they were looking for us to provide a bit more structure. In response to that, we've put together a mentorship guide which we'll be distributing to mentors, and we'll be checking in more regularly with the mentorship groups throughout the year. 

One mentorship pair from last year, Nebojša Ratković from Wikimedia Serbia and Anthony B. Diaz from Wiki Advocates Philippines, shared their experiences at our last Open Meeting. If you missed it, you can watch the recording on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT76_cj-SGY

If you're interested in participating in the mentorship program this year, please fill out this interest form. The deadline is June 19:
