Facebook Unveils Community Accelerator to Help Leaders Grow Groups

The six-month program provides training, mentorship and funding

Facebook Tuesday introduced Community Accelerator, a six-month program that provides training, mentorship and funding to help community leaders grow their communities.

Vice president of social good and community partnerships John Cantarella said in a Newsroom post that community leaders who are chosen for the program will spend the first three months learning how to grow their communities and meet their goals from experts, coaches and a customized curriculum.

The second three months will see them iterating and executing on their plans with funding and continued support from their networks and a dedicated team.

Facebook will award up to $3 million in total to the 80 program participants.
