Mission TR's primary mission is providing domestic or international disaster relief to those affected by natural disasters. By pairing the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders, medical professionals, and technology solutions, TR aims to provide the greatest service and impact possible. Team Rubicon provides relief to those affected by disasters, helping people on their worst days.
Description Team Rubicon is a veteran-led humanitarian organization that serves global communities before, during, and after disasters and crises. Our vision is to support humanity and build resiliency for vulnerable communities across the world.
In 2010, U.S. Marine Corps veteran Jake Wood couldn’t stand idly by as a 7.0 earthquake devastated Haiti. He saw an immense need for help, so he acted. While other relief organizations hemmed and hawed, Wood led a team of seven into action. That small, scrappy team cared for thousands of survivors, broke the mold of humanitarian aid, and proved that we can always do more.
That was our first operation—and the one that gave Team Rubicon its name. Channeling the audacity of Julius Caesar as he crossed the Rubicon River in Italy, our team was committing themselves irrevocably to the cause when they crossed the Artibonite River into Haiti, their own point of no return.
Today, our team has expanded to 180,000+, but our mission remains the same: to help people affected by disasters. With billion-dollar disasters happening every 18 days on average, more people need support, so we need more donors, advocates, partners, and Greyshirts—the badass volunteers who don grey shirts and step up to support our mission of serving communities near and far.
