This vision drives everything we do.
The Internet is a place of possibility and opportunity. It is where we collaborate and innovate for a better world. Where we share our hopes and strengthen our bonds. It is where we work, learn, and make progress.
We are a global charitable organization empowering people to keep the Internet a force for good: open, globally connected, secure, and trustworthy.
We are the Internet Society. People are at the heart of our mission.
