ABOUT CRISIS RESPONSE INTERNATIONAL
Since 2007, CRí has been training volunteers to respond to the urgent physical, spiritual, and emotional needs that arise in times of crisis.
Crisis Response International (CRI) is a 501(c)3 global relief organization committed to meeting the urgent needs of those suffering due to crisis and disaster. With compassion and swift action, we mobilize emergency relief and deploy certified volunteer workers as clean-up crews, chaplains, and medical personnel to extend aid to communities suffering worldwide.
BECOME A TRAINED RESPONDER
Get Equipped To Go Where You're Needed Most
CRí is not just a ministry- it’s a movement of trained, mobilized people showing up in the world’s most broken places. But effective crisis response takes more than a willing heart. It takes preparation.
When disaster strikes, trained Responders are the ones we call on first. They’ve completed our official Responder Training, which equips them with the mindset, skills, and spiritual readiness needed to deploy with CRí into physical, emotional, and spiritual crisis zones.
WHY DOES TRAINING MATTER?
Our world is complex, and so are the situations we walk into. Whether it’s a hurricane, a humanitarian crisis, or an active shooter aftermath, CRí Responders need to show up with more than good intentions. They need to show up with clarity, competence, and compassion. Training helps you do that. It prepares you to listen, serve, lead, and minister in some of the hardest places on earth with wisdom and peace.
Trained vs Untrained: What’s the Difference?
Only trained Responders can officially deploy with CRí teams. Local volunteers may be able to help in smaller, supportive ways at a deployment site, but they will not have full access to serve on our teams or operate under CRí’s name and covering.
