WHAT WE DO
We’ve created a new way to engage in authentic conversations with people across the world to grow and learn from each others’ perspectives. And to build peace. According to UNESCO, 87% of violent conflicts take place in nations with low intercultural dialogue. But it’s more than just social good. When you volunteer on the Acquaint platform, you also gain access to learning modules that help you build your communication and professional development skills at no cost.
WHO WE ARE
Acquainters join from all walks of life. Students, parents, professionals, elders, and everything in between. We are united by a common goal of creating a more collaborative world, both locally and globally. As volunteers, Acquainters share the understanding that respect and tolerance are critical to every interaction. Furthermore, we embrace a growth mindset. No matter our stage of life, there’s always more we can learn from each other.
