Alight (formerly the American Refugee Committee (ARC)) HQ

We are on a journey to build Alight, a new platform of amazing people and organizations providing lifesaving services and creating breakthrough solutions for and with the displaced. For the past 40 years, we’ve called ourselves American Refugee Committee, an organization known for providing quality care to millions of refugees worldwide. And through all the years and conversations we’ve had with the people we serve, we’ve heard the same thing time and time again – refugee is not a label we want. Becoming Alight is a journey - we haven’t arrived yet. We’re immersing ourselves in the work of pioneering a new kind of human institution. One that exists to unleash abundance, that’s committed to providing and designing human-worthy services. We’re making proximity to our customers our guiding star, democratizing co-design of programs and projects – because everyone has the power to change their future. We will continue the same critical work we’ve always done – providing health care, clean water, shelter, protection and economic opportunities to more than 3.5 million people in 17 countries each year. Alight only allows us to do even more, to do better, for all different kinds of people in different kinds of ways. To fully embrace the abundance of everyday people, and to bring everyone along for the ride.
