Who We Are

The Acquaint community is made up of our global team of six passionate individuals and over 1,200 volunteers, all deeply committed to building a more inclusive and collaborative world. Though we are headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, our core team spans four countries (Pakistan, the USA, Sierra Leone, and Canada), and our volunteer community currently includes people from 108 countries. Despite the vast geographic range of our community, we are a tight-knit group that regularly meets to check in, share stories, and learn from each other’s experiences. In an increasingly divided world that suffers the consequences of prejudice and violence, we are passionate about bringing together as many people as possible to help strengthen humanity’s capacity to work together.

What We Do

Acquaint works to promote inclusion and civility through global intercultural dialogue, laying the groundwork for more pluralistic communities both locally and globally. Volunteers from over 100 countries regularly connect on our platform to share perspectives, practice tolerance, and strengthen their cross cultural communication skills. We emphasize the importance of listening, asking meaningful questions, and applying what we learn to our local communities and interpersonal relationships. According to UNESCO, strengthening humanity’s ability to collaborate across diverse cultures is a critical step from achieving all sustainable development goals.
