Global Cultural Networker

Save to Favorites

Are you interested in talking to people around the world and increasing your ability to form meaningful connections?

Whether you are an experienced communicator or new to the idea that human connection can be practiced, building community is a lifelong journey - Acquaint offers something for everyone.

As a Cultural Networking volunteer with Acquaint, you’ll get the chance to meet people from all over the world through 45- to 60-minute dialogues. Every week, you set your availability, and we pair you with another volunteer from around the world. The goal is simple: to ask questions, share experiences, and develop skills in connecting with other people.

Each session is an opportunity to enhance our human connection skills with someone new, guided by your selection of conversation prompts and virtual icebreakers.

Qualifications and Requirements

• Comfortable communicating in English
• Basic computer skills
• Internet connection
• Age 15+ (if you’re under 18, we’ll just need permission from a parent or guardian)

Suggested Time Commitment
We recommend about an hour each week, but you can set your own schedule and volunteer as much as you like. Our open hours run from 5:00 am to 10:00 pm Pacific Time (United States), so there’s plenty of flexibility.

Getting Started
Once you apply, you’ll receive an email with next steps to schedule a 45-minute onboarding session on Zoom. After onboarding, you’ll be ready to start connecting with other volunteers!

What You’ll Gain

• Practice human connection skills and making meaningful connections in a global community
• Certificates and badges for volunteer milestones and training achievements
• Access to Acquaint’s communication training courses, where you can learn more skills and earn badges along the way
