Social Media Volunteer

Overview

Acquaint aims to strengthen communities, locally and globally, by inviting volunteers to adopt a practice of human connection.

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.

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.
