Rockcorps was launched as a social business in the United States in 2005 by 7 friends: Stephen Greene (CEO), Grady Lee (COO), Haley Moffett (Head of Production), Chris Robinson (Creative Director), Toby Garrett (Producer), Paul Hunter and Noel Eisenberg. Volunteers have earned their tickets to RockCorps gigs in cities across the US including New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Oakland, Houston, Chicago, Portland OR, Baltimore, Washington DC and Miami.

In 2008 RockCorps partnered with Orange to bring RockCorps to the UK. The first concert took place on September 26th at the Royal Albert Hall featuring Busta Rhymes, Ludacris and John Legend. In 2009, RockCorps grew in the UK to include a gig at the Manchester Apollo and again at the Royal Albert Hall along with its first show in France at Le Zenith theatre in Paris.  For 2010, RockCorps is growing in both UK and France as well as launching in Israel for the first time.

RockCorps has inspired more than 60,000 volunteers to give back with more than 450 charity and non-profit partners in the US, Europe and Israel. All of the volunteering events are done in partnership with and for the benefit of local charities.

All of RockCorps funding comes from its brand partners. Orange is RockCorps' lead partner in the UK, France and Israel, both supporting the program directly and also delivering communications campaigns to help spread the word and inspire a new generation of volunteers
