Hey, I'm ex-Meta 2009-2017 and welcome.
My recommendations of things to look into would be:
1. Meta has internal mentorship opportunities of different shapes and sizes. Helping out juniors from non traditional backgrounds and helping out on the Pathways team might be impactful. DM me if you don't know anyone there and I can give some suggestions of people to reach out to.
2. Do public mentorship. There are a number of ways you can mentor people at bootcamps, or 1-1 for free or paid and everything in between, and I have some recommendations there if you are cool telling me more about yourself. I highly recommend working with industry clubs/groups you might identify with.
3. Get involved with ERGs at Meta.
But yeah bootcamps are over for now. A couple are surviving doing their thing at a very small scale and with a small number of staff.
