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 160,000+, 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.
