Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

CRI is a 501(c)3, charitable organization that mobilizes emergency relief supplies, volunteer workers, mobile kitchens, medical personnel, chaplains, and clean-up crews to assist people who are suffering in times of crisis and disaster.

We only deploy trained volunteers who have cleared a background check. CRí training is like no other. Regardless of how often you deploy with us, our training is designed to equip you to meet the urgent physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of people affected by crisis and disaster. \n\nFor your safety and the people we serve and continuity of our mission we require all new volunteers to complete online Crisis Response Training, Course 1, or a live Basic Training (Boot Camp) and clear a background check before deployment.\n\nOnce you pass Course 1 and clear a background check, you will become a credentialed CRI Responder and Disaster Relief Volunteer. You will then be eligible to sign-up for deployment with us on relief operations around the world.

We have trained over 15,000 volunteers but we need more. We would like to expand our training capabilities at our training center in Blue Ridge, Virginia.

We recently launched an online training program that takes stress off of our training staff and puts training opportunities in front of many more people around the world. Simply put, more volunteers; more impact!
