WATCH, LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, SHARE! Every day, children and youth disappear into a hidden world of exploitation, abuse, trafficking, and trauma. They are taken from their families, some are even trafficked by family members, manipulated by predators, and trapped in places most people never see.
This is where ARC goes.
The Association for the Recovery of Children (ARC) enters some of the most dangerous and remote environments in the world to locate missing, abducted, exploited, and trafficked American children. When others cannot reach them, we pursue every lead, cross every boundary, and venture into the darkest corners of criminal enterprise to bring them home.
Founded in 1993, ARC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization comprised of former intelligence officers, military special operators, and law enforcement professionals who have dedicated their lives to protecting the vulnerable. Using advanced intelligence-gathering techniques, proven investigative methods, and unwavering determination, our teams work tirelessly to identify perpetrators, locate victims, and facilitate the safe recovery of children held in the United States and abroad.

ARC's comprehensive child recovery services are provided at no cost to custodial parents. Every operation is conducted lawfully, ethically, and with one singular purpose: the safe recovery of the child.
