General Disaster Responder
Are you built to serve?
Join Team Rubicon, a veteran-led humanitarian organization that serves global communities before, during, and after disasters and crises.
We are calling all military veterans, first responders, and kick-ass civilians ready to help people on their worst day.
There are no ranks in Team Rubicon — just a common mission and a spirit of service.
We provide key services to help protect life and structures. We tarp roofs. Board windows. Muck and gut flooded homes. Survey affected sites. Clear routes and remove debris. We knock out daunting jobs that are impossible to achieve alone.
If you have specialized skills, like operating heavy equipment, we’ll put them to work. If you want to build your skillset, we’ll teach you!
Team Rubicon provides year-round, online and in-person trainings and engagements to support communities and improve service deliveries. From Sawyer (Chainsaw Operator) classes to Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training, we'll ensure you feel ready and skilled up to help communities in need.
The only prerequisite required for volunteering is a commitment to service. Ready to join over 160,000 dedicated volunteers? Sign up today.

Who We Are:
Team Rubicon is a veteran-led humanitarian organization that serves global communities before, during, and after disasters and crises. Founded in 2010 with the expressed goal of quickly responding to large-scale disasters, Team Rubicon has deployed thousands of volunteers across the United States and world to provide relief to communities in need. When disaster strikes, we work hard to help the most vulnerable in need. By working with or alongside local agencies and governments, Team Rubicon seeks to be of the utmost service to those in need.
What We Do:
Disasters can happen anywhere at any time. Team Rubicon exists to provide the greatest service and impact to survivors and communities in need, no matter where. Simply put, we help people on their worst days. Team Rubicon deploys on three types of operations – response, recovery, and mitigation – providing free services such as chainsaw operation, debris management, muck-and-guts, roof-tarping, and much more. Volunteering with Team Rubicon is a unique experience. You’ll deploy to a community in a time of need to provide meaningful and impactful service. You’ll create strong bonds with the men and women on your left and right. You’ll finish the job tired, sore, and proud.
We understand not everyone can swing a 20 lb. sledgehammer for a week straight. And not everyone can take a week away from work and family to travel across the country. If you are passionate about serving, there is a role for you. The only prerequisite required for volunteering with Team Rubicon is a commitment to service. As a Greyshirt, you will be responsible for providing immediate and impactful aid to communities affected by disaster. If you are willing to raise your hand to help those in need, we’re ready to get you in a grey shirt.
