Acquaint's Model

We recruit volunteers to practice human connection across cultural and other differences. Our platform creates a space where volunteers can connect 1-on-1 to learn with people from around the world at times convenient for them. From strengthening our ability to connect with our coworkers to understanding our own bias, practicing these intercultural connections helps volunteers support human connections in their own families and communities in addition to fostering global inclusion. We also offer communication workshops (see below) that provide opportunities for your team to develop these skills in a fun, interactive setting.
