TRAINING NO DAY IS THE SAME.
PROPER TRAINING PROVIDES TEAM RUBICON VOLUNTEERS A HOST OF OPPORTUNITIES TO SHARPEN THE CORE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS REQUIRED TO SAFELY PERFORM DISASTER OPERATIONS.
Sure, you have skills. Maybe you have an engineering degree. Maybe you have a diploma in using a shovel. All of these are useful, but unless you know how to use them in a disaster response scenario, they can do more harm than good.
Team Rubicon provides skills-based trainings and strategic exercises to Team Rubicon volunteers. All trainings are offered free of charge and work to improve Team Rubicon’s operational capabilities and capacity.
We offer a multitude of training opportunities, from broad-spectrum operational concepts to how to strip and oil a chainsaw.
