Deploy in the wake of disaster and help bring calm to the chaos by coordinating aid, joining a work team, and providing emotional care.
Lead teams of volunteers during the long-term recovery phase of disaster relief and use your skills to help communities rebuild homes and lives.
Join a mission to lend your hands and heart to helping communities rebuild – everything from debris removal to tarping roofs to replacing drywall.
Advanced training for experienced operators, saving lives and joining CRR “first-in” scout teams to assess the damage, link up with partners, and leading the relief efforts.
Our Immediate Relief Team is an elite team that deploys to help bring leadership and organization after a disaster. Team members should be able to sustain themselves during disaster relief operations while working as a team to fulfill missions in often high-pressure environments. Therefore, this training is intentionally designed to put you in high pressure situations. Only those who want to challenge themselves in these situations should join.
If this is you, our IRT training will give you the skills you need to bring order to the chaos immediately following a disaster and will qualify you to deploy with our team. The skills you will learn are also useful for everyday life, from providing emergency care, navigation, fieldcraft, and helping others in need.
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 $42k dollars and our teams of staff and volunteers turned it into $1.2 million of work for over 150 homeowners. As a volunteer team member, you’ll be on the front lines of a force that multiplies impact for good.
When you volunteer with CRR, you are guaranteed to make a difference.We don’t stand around and wait for the next project, our professional team works with the community and our partners to ensure that our volunteers do what they came to do – make an impact.
