About Acquaint

Mission Statement

Acquaint is a movement to practice and promote human connection - everywhere.

Description

The world is facing a crisis of human connection.

At Acquaint, we’re working to change that - not with debates or lectures, but through real conversations.

Since 2021, volunteers from over 100 countries have shared more than 15,000 hours of 1-on-1 dialogue - learning to listen better, think critically, and connect across differences. These conversations are helping individuals grow and build a more connected, collaborative world in the process.

The Opportunity

Imagine if every interaction in your life - coworkers, family, even strangers - felt more thoughtful, collaborative, and meaningful.

When you volunteer with Acquaint, that’s what you’re practicing:

A new habit. A stronger skillset. A broader impact.

Each week you volunteer, just set your availability - and we’ll pair you with someone from around the world (or down the street). These pairings make every conversation a surprise, a chance to grow, and a fun challenge.

You’ll also gain access to personalized communication training designed to help you improve, reflect, and enjoy the journey.

Be part of the movement.

Volunteer today and help make connection a part of everyday life - everywhere.
