Sometimes support comes quietly, through a simple act. At the start of the new year, a yoga teacher hosted a benefit class for people doing good in the world ✨ Their community showed up, and donations were shared with Alight. Moments like this remind us that solidarity lives in everyday care 💛

Education can be an anchor when everything else feels uncertain 📘
For communities affected by displacement, it opens doors to opportunity and a future beyond crisis. On #InternationalDayofEducation, we recognize education as an essential human experience 🌍

What did education make possible for you?

The past year asked a lot of our teams. 💛 What carried us forward was leaning into our vulnerability, being willing to challenge ourselves, and the strength of human connection.
#StayingAlight is not just about programs or operations. It is about people choosing to keep going together.

Alight stands with refugees in #Minnesota.
Since Operation #PARRIS began, people with legal refugee status have been detained, creating fear across communities. 🚨

At Alight, we believe that emotion doesn’t make us unprofessional, it’s the heart of our work 💛
To laugh, to smile, to dance, to connect deeply with others - that’s what makes us human.
Even in places the world calls scarce, we find abundance in laughter and light.
