Seattle Platoon

Event overview

As a Platoon, we will have come full circle on 11/12/16. Last November, we began our first project introducing our Platoon to the Rainier Beach community by cleaning up these same pathways, while having fun. During our past year in the Community, we have supported the businesses along Rose St and the Ethiopian Community Center through cleanup, the Rainier Beach Urban Garden, Rainier Beach High School, and these important Pathways the students use to get to and from the Library and High School. We will assist with curbside cleanup, graffiti removal, painting, weeding, and mulching. While we're at it, we'll swing a few hammers, and fire up the saws. There will be projects for all, as we aim to restore this well-used path (a main route for kids heading to the library after school) to it's original beauty. Lunch? No worries....we will provide lunch. Why this weekend? Because it's Veterans Day Weekend and we are #ReportingForDuty. Let's show everyone the power that The Mission Continues brings to the table.

Who We Are

The Mission Continues is a national non-profit that empowers veterans to continue serving in our nation’s under-resourced communities, giving veterans the opportunity to keep serving even after the uniform comes off, right here at home. Our programs deploy veterans and volunteers to work alongside nonprofit partners and community leaders to improve educational resources, tackle food insecurity, foster neighborhood identity, and more.  

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.

What is a Service Platoon? 

Service Platoons are your opportunity to engage and connect with veterans and community members while generating community impact in a real and tangible way. Led by veteran volunteer platoon leaders, each platoon works with dedicated community partners and volunteers to provide the manpower and support that they need to help them do their work more effectively. 

We currently have service platoons in more than 40+ cities across the country that are having events at least once a month. Everyone is invited to serve, regardless of veteran status: a service platoon is for you if you have a passion for service.
