Humanitarian Organizations - Team Rubicon?

[mtentis]

PA forum members,

 

I have been researching a disaster relief organization for military veterans called Team Rubicon. See the link to their website below. Additionally, there is a link to a TED talk by one of the co-founders. I have a strong interest in getting involved with a humanitarian aid organization as a future PA (I am starting school this summer). Does anyone here have knowledge of Team Rubicon, positive and negative? Also, are there any resources out there to research the validity, effectiveness, personal security, etc of aid organizations?

Thank you for your time.
