Organization Description
Acquaint aims to overcome hate, polarization, and failure to cooperate worldwide by building a global cultural exchange at the grassroots level. Volunteers connect on the Acquaint platform for one-on-one conversations to share culture and perspectives. These sessions raise global awareness while building empathy and cultural competencies. Currently, Acquaint has over 600 volunteers participating from over 70 countries.
Role Description

Based on your availability, you will be paired with a fellow volunteer for at least one session per week. Sessions last an average of 45 minutes, and the goal is to ask questions, learn about the other person, and build our intercultural communication skills.

Mission Statement
Build united communities through a practice of human connection.
Description
Acquaint recruits volunteers to adopt a practice of human connection in order to help unite communities. Since 2021, volunteers from over 100 countries have created lifelong, societal impact by becoming better critical thinkers and connectors through more than 15,000 hours of 1-on-1 dialogue and personalized training.
We invite you to imagine all of the people you may need or want to interact with - family, coworkers, or even competitors. What if each of these interactions was more impactful, collaborative, and positive? Acquaint provides an opportunity for you to make that reality, creating a positive ripple effect both locally and globally.
The Process
Each week you choose to volunteer, you will enter your availability, and we will pair you with others around the world based on their schedules. These random pairings mean that you could find yourself speaking to someone right down the street or on the other side of the globe. Every interaction is an opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute to a more peaceful world. You will also gain access to personalized communication training courses as you progress on your journey.
Our vision is a world united by community, where everyone feels like the belong.
Join us and become a community builder. Together, we can make meaningful human connection a transformative force for global change.
