Event overview

16 special volunteers are needed to support this year's Emerald City Ride this Sunday. Our tasks include greeting and assisting riders as they make their way through the SR 99 Tunnel (approximately 2 miles), just one highlight of the 12-mile route. Here are the details and scopes: LOCATION: E. Frontage Rd. S. – S. Royal Brougham Way (Parking lot behind Pyramid Alehouse) TIMELINE: 6:15 a.m. Volunteers gather at Start Line (Green Cascade Tents in the Parking lot) Cascade will provide breakfast snacks (fruit and pastries) and coffee. 6:40 a.m. Volunteers ride/walk to their positions (biking would be the easiest transport, the closest door is .1 miles and the furthest door is 1.3 miles from Start Line) 7 a.m. Participants released from Start Line 9 a.m. Start line closes and police and Cascade support vehicle will be sweeping behind the last rider. When you see these you are relieved of door duty. You can either head back to the start/finish line the way you or you are welcome to continue onto the route and ride the rest of the way, map of the ride also attached. Riders must reach I-5 entrance by 9:30 a.m. This concludes their volunteer work for Emerald City Ride!

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.
