About
Becoming AlightAs humanitarians, we hold a very big promise. And, we’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how we will fulfill our promise. Through different voices, we’re sharing the values that unite us all, that drive how we work and interact with the people we serve.
Note from the editor
Alight (formerly American Refugee Committee) works to build a meaningful life for and with the displaced. When we find people displaced from their homes, countries or lives, our instinct may be to focus on their basic needs. And that is essential. But that is living — it is not a life. A life is filled with joy, dignity, connection and purpose. And that’s what we aim to build.
