Force Multipliers

Join a team that multiplies impact.

We believe communities recover faster when we work together to steward volunteer time, money, and resources as efficiently as possible. Our Immediate Relief and Recovery Operations Teams pride themselves on being “force multipliers”.

Force multipliers take a limited amount of resources (volunteer time, money, and materials) and “multiply” their effectiveness. During Hurricane Ian, CRR raised x amount of dollars and our teams of staff and volunteers turned it into x amount of work for x amount of homeowners. As a volunteer team member, you’ll be on the front lines of a force that multiplies impact for good.

Team Member Stories

Just a year after my IRT training, Tropical Storm Debbie hit our area and my church lost power and was flooded. Because of the training I received with Crisis Relief and Recovery, my church asked me to serve as the point person for relief and clean up efforts. I felt confident to damage assess, create a plan, and mobilize and coordinate volunteers due to the training I received with CRR.

I owned an engineering firm and was a professor for over 35 years. 

Jeff Wendle Retired Business Owner, Entrepreneurship Professor

They pushed us hard during the training but I actually learned how CAPABLE I can be and that I do have what it takes to give back to my community.
