Social Media Volunteer

About Acquaint:

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

Through this practice, volunteers will transform the way they 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.
