Third Wave Volunteers

Third Wave Volunteers was founded as first responders in the Sept 11th 2001 attacks in NYC. There we learned that "everyone was needed' to help and there was room for all types of volunteers to participate.

In this rapidly growing world of natural and man-made disasters, we need all citizens to step forward to help with a donation of their time.
Sept11th, 2004 tsunami, 2010 Haiti earthquake, Bahamas and USA hurricanes and now the Covid pandemic- the list goes on and soon we will have a tragedy for every date in the calendar. With every new disaster, the old one fades away far before the recovery does. As political animals, we have the intelligence and power to do so much. We can fly to the moon and unravel DNA codes, but the things we need to do now are a lot simpler than that.

THIRD WAVE VOLUNTEERS is a movement of Volunteerism, based on the concept that "EVERYONE IS NEEDED". From long-term missions, to volunteering on a computer for a few hours after work. The process of helping people is often a complicated task but at the same time everyone is needed to help. All small skills add up to make a difference: from carrying boxes of water to peeling carrots or creating art with newly orphaned children.

THE THIRD WAVE volunteer has a humble attitude using common sense, love and a whole lot of guts to get stuff done no matter how hard the obstacle. It's about cutting through the red tape of bureaucracy to get help directly to the people in need.
Third Wave volunteer teams work with many other great organizations and believe that we are stronger together than we are alone.

Third Wave Volunteers have worked with over 30,000 first responders in all major natural disasters for the past 22 years and in Miami and Florida we focus on disaster preparedness, CERT training and responding to underserved communities in hurricane season and year round.
