The Internet Is for Everyone

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 nonprofit organization empowering people to keep the Internet a force for good: open, globally connected, secure, and trustworthy. We believe everyone should be able to benefit from an open and trusted Internet. This value forms the pillars of our work.


We are the Internet Society.

People are at the heart of our mission.



Our community is made up of thousands of energetic, enthusiastic, and committed individuals, organizations, and volunteers. They are an unstoppable force and they motivate us in all we do.
