About the Internet Society - Internet Society

Together with our Foundation, we provide technical and policy expertise, infrastructure, funds, and skills training–key components of an accessible, reliable, and safe Internet.
Rooted in the origins of the Internet, we’re passionate about preserving the foundations on which it was built and developing its full potential. Read about our history.
The Internet is a transformative force. But not everyone benefits from it equally. 2.2 billion people still lack connectivity.
And, increasingly, our online safety is threatened by the inability to trust that our personal information is in our control.
The stakes have never been higher.
Our community is made up of people and organizations from around the world. Guided by our shared mission, together, we are shaping the future of the Internet.
Supporters who share our vision for an open and trusted Internet.
Connectors who bring members together to make change at the local and global level.
Doers who partner with us to achieve greater impact.
Advocates who apply their talent, knowledge, and experience for an Internet for everyone.
Champions who value our mission above all else, steering us in the right direction.
Organizations such as PIR, IETF, and the Internet Society Foundation, which make our impact possible.
Anyone can help protect, defend, and grow the Internet. Explore opportunities to help us advance our vision and make positive change.
