About SBP:
SBP is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to helping communities shrink the time between disaster and recovery. We take a holistic approach to disasters by increasing readiness and resilience before they happen, and streamlining rebuilding and long-term recovery after.
  • Building the Way Home for Disaster Survivors: SBP serves the most vulnerable homeowners in a community impacted by a major disaster through its Recovery Services. These services are currently offered through eight states across the Gulf South, where the risk of major natural disasters is greatest.
  • Building Readiness and Resilience Through Local Partnership: SBP supports low-capacity, high-risk communities through its Advisory Services, providing training, consulting, and organizational capacity-building through a team of subject-matter experts and Resilience Fellows.

Joining SBP is more than just joining a workforce. It’s about contributing to a mission where you can enact real change and make a difference in the lives of people impacted by disasters.

What positions are available?
  • As a Project Lead, you will rebuild, construct, and fortify the homes of disaster survivors. You will learn and master many phases of construction, and lead, mentor, and coach volunteers as they assist with your rebuilding efforts. You will learn sustainability and energy efficiency techniques that help homes better withstand future storms. No construction experience is necessary.
  • As a Volunteer Coordinator,  you will recruit and coordinate volunteer visits.  You will welcome volunteer groups, talk to them about the impact of their service, and empower individuals to join us in being part of the solution!
  • As a Supply & Logistics Coordinator, you will streamline SBP's warehouse and delivery system operations and make daily deliveries of supplies to our service sites. By prioritizing efficiency and ensuring our sites have the materials they need, you will actively help SBP reduce the time to bring disaster-impacted families back home.
  • As a Construction Coordinator, you will play a fundamental role in maintaining the momentum of our operations by overseeing the construction progress of our client’s homes. You will be involved from start to finish, whether securing proper permits for each site, designing subcontractor schedules, or monitoring overall site progress.
  • As a Client Services Coordinator, you will be our clients’ main point of contact throughout their time with SBP. Client Services Coordinators serve as a liaison for disaster survivors, offering them support by assessing needs, providing referrals, and guiding the application and construction process. Your work will fortify these members of our community from reaching their breaking points.
  • As a Disaster Corps Project Lead,  you will embody SBP’s dedication to timely response, deploying to disaster-impacted communities following the immediate impact of natural disasters. When not on deployment, you will serve as Project Leads supporting recovery in your community.
  • As a Client Preparedness Coordinator, you will execute community-wide preparedness engagements and work with SBP's clients to increase their knowledge and capacity to make more informed disaster preparedness decisions.
