Team Rubicon is a veteran-led humanitarian organization that coordinates disaster response worldwide, helping communities before, during, and after crises. Its work comes from mobilizing trained veteran volunteers and civilian volunteers to assess damage, deliver aid, and support cleanup and recovery efforts in affected areas. The organization works through rapid deployment to disaster zones, leveraging partnerships with governments, non-profits, and local communities to provide hands-on relief and logistical support. Unlike some responders that rely mainly on paid staff, Team Rubicon combines military discipline and field experience with volunteer energy to quickly scale aid operations when disasters strike. The goal is to move aid to people who need it, speed up recovery, and build resilience in communities affected by disasters and crises.

Team Rubicon how-to guide: disaster volunteering when it matters most. Oct 29, 2026. When disaster strikes, the effects can be immediate and overwhelming. Families may lose homes, neighborhoods can be left damaged, and entire communities can face a long road to recovery. In moments like these, disaster volunteering plays an important role in helping people rebuild and move forward. WoodmenLife has partnered with Team Rubicon, a Veteran-led humanitarian organization that helps communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters across the country. Through this partnership, its members[1] have access to meaningful disaster volunteering opportunities[2] that allow them to put their values into action and make a difference when and where help is needed most. Founded in 2010, Team Rubicon has grown into a nationwide force of volunteers dedicated to serving communities impacted by hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, floods, and other disasters. The organization mobilizes trained volunteers, known as Greyshirts, to assist with everything from preparedness projects to debris removal to long-term recovery efforts. Its partnership with Team Rubicon is about more than disaster volunteering: It's about neighbors helping neighbors. It's about showing up when others need support. And it's about providing WoodmenLife members with another way to live its commitment to family, community, and country. Team Rubicon gives members the opportunity to be part of something bigger than themselves while helping others in need. Interested in becoming part of such an effort? Here's how WoodmenLife members can get started. The first step is simple. Members can register through WoodmenLife's dedicated Team Rubicon sign-up portal: Registration connects its members with Team Rubicon and starts the onboarding process. Step 2: complete a background check. After registering, members will be asked to complete a background check. The process takes only a few minutes, and Team Rubicon covers the cost. This step helps ensure volunteer safety and supports the organization's ability to respond effectively when communities need assistance. Step 3: complete Team Rubicon 101. Next, members will take Team Rubicon 101, an online training course that takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. The course shares Team Rubicon's mission, volunteer expectations, operational procedures, and safety practices. It's designed to help volunteers understand what to expect and how they can contribute when opportunities become available. No prior disaster response, construction, or emergency management experience is necessary. Team Rubicon provides the training, guidance, and safety protocols volunteers need to participate with confidence. Step 4: explore opportunities through Roll Call. Once onboarding is complete, members can begin exploring opportunities for disaster volunteering through Team Rubicon's Roll Call platform. Roll Call serves as the hub for finding projects and deployments across the country. Members can browse opportunities and filter them by location, date, type of service, and length of commitment. Opportunities range from local projects lasting a few hours to multi-day deployments helping communities recover after major events. Volunteer opportunities can include: * Disaster preparedness projects * Community service initiatives * Debris removal and cleanup efforts * Home stabilization and recovery work * Long-term disaster recovery projects Once signed in to the Roll Call platform, members can register for projects, track participation, receive updates, and connect with fellow volunteers. A flexible way to make a difference. One of the most appealing aspects of Team Rubicon is the flexibility it offers. Some members may prefer short-term service projects close to home. Others may be interested in traveling to support communities affected by a major storm or crisis. Opportunities are available throughout the year and vary based on response and recovery needs. Members can choose projects that align with their schedules, interests, and ability. Whether contributing a few hours locally or several days on a deployment, every volunteer effort helps strengthen communities and support those facing difficult circumstances. Living WoodmenLife values. The Team Rubicon Extra is different from many traditional membership benefits. Rather than providing something members receive, it provides an opportunity to do something meaningful. It gives WoodmenLife members a chance to serve others, strengthen communities, learn new skills, and step up when help is needed most. It reflects the values that have long defined WoodmenLife and offers a powerful way to put those values into action. In many ways, disaster volunteering embodies what WoodmenLife membership has always been about: caring for others, supporting communities, and lending a hand when neighbors need it most. When disasters change lives in an instant, volunteers can help restore hope and begin the recovery process. Through Team Rubicon, members have an opportunity to be part of that effort. Members interested in disaster volunteering through Team Rubicon can find additional information at WoodmenLife.org/Team-Rubicon.
Sesame Workshop details initiative to help children and families prepare for and cope with extreme weather. by Billy Langsworthy Published 31.07.26 "From our new storm special to year-round resources and community outreach, this initiative reflects our commitment to showing up for children and families when they need it most," said Joseph Giraldi, Chief Operating Officer at Sesame Workshop. Sesame Workshop has launched an initiative to help children, families and communities prepare for, cope with and recover from extreme weather. With funding from PSEG Foundation, the initiative debuts with a new storm-themed Sesame Street special - Storm on Sesame Street - premiering on Netflix and PBS KIDS on Monday, August 3rd, and on YouTube in September. The initiative will also see the launch of a printed and digital storybook, available later this year, to help children find words for goodbye and healing when the things they love are lost. In addition, resources - in English and Spanish - will span digital content, family guides, activities and Sesame care kits that include comfort items and everyday essentials like backpacks, blankets, and toothbrushes, to support families during evacuations and periods of displacement. "Extreme weather is now a reality for many families, and young children need support they can understand and trust," said Joseph Giraldi, Chief Operating Officer at Sesame Workshop. "With our Extreme Weather response initiative, we're using the power of Sesame Street to help children prepare for what's ahead, cope with big emotions during moments of disruption, and begin to recover afterward. From our new storm special to year-round resources and community outreach, this initiative reflects our commitment to showing up for children and families when they need it most." With support from Ford Motor Company and Amazon, Sesame Workshop is further extending the resources and care kits through community outreach activities with partner networks. Sesame Workshop will collaborate with PBS stations and national implementation partners including Catholic Charities USA, Project:Camp, Team Rubicon and others, to engage with families through community preparedness and relief events.
