A TYPICAL DEPLOYMENT
A foundational weekend to introduce you to our organization and mission, to understand who we are and what we do in disaster relief and post-disaster recovery. We cover everything from base setup, volunteer management, case management, rebuilding methods, and community care. It is a mix of classroom, practical/hands-on, and using real-world case studies and exercises.

We will work with you to determine your role on the team and desired deployment location. Before your deployment, it’s time to tell your friends and family your new mission and help raise support for this new season. This phase can be as long or as short as you’d like, but the quicker you get to the field, the quicker you can make an impact!
Lasting anywhere from 1 month to a year, you will have time to integrate with the team already in place, and begin to slot into your role as Logistics Coordinator, Operations Coordinator, Base Operations, or Community Missionary, among others!
When your time commitment is over, your involvement with the community and family you’ve built could continue–again, it’s up to you. We know through experience that it’s tough to leave a place you’ve seen changed, and people that you have grown to love.
We work with you to help train our next generation of Recovery Operations Leaders and share your experiences and expertise!
What is a Recovery Operations Team?
“A Recovery Operations Team is a group of people, preferably couples and families, that lead a rebuilding operation for communities recovering from natural disaster. They bring skills, experience, and a family atmosphere to an often chaotic situation, and act as leaders and coordinators for activities ranging from basic construction, volunteer management, to nationwide networking. They are often retired or semi-retired, RV-ers, or those who have left the 9-5 rat race to live a different style of life: serving others who are in need”
