Acquaint

Few things are more important than the people in our lives and world. At Acquaint, we invite you to volunteer to practice human connection, wherever you are in life.

Through this practice, you'll transform the way you relate to others and, in doing so, help transform the world. In semi-structured one-on-one conversations, Acquainters connect across cultures, beliefs, and life experiences. Along the way, they build communication skills, develop empathy, and often uncover unexpected insights about others and themselves.

Since launching, volunteers from over 110 countries have contributed thousands of hours to the practice of connection. Each person brings something unique to the community, and each leaves enriched by the perspectives of a truly global network.

We welcome people of all backgrounds, whether you're just starting to explore human connection or you're looking to deepen an existing practice. What unites us is the belief that by changing how we connect, we can change the world and our own lives.
