October 27, 2024

06:45 AM - 09:00 AM MST

Phoenix Platoon

Event overview

Join us for our "hybrid-joint" social/support project with Team RWB on Silent Sunday at South Mtn Park! On Silent Sunday, the main road through the park is closed to vehicle traffic. We will have the opportunity to exercise and socialize by walking or biking (your choice) the main road. This is individually paced. During the walk we will likely be picking up trash along the road but our task(s) are subject to change. We will meet at 6:45 am at the west end of the parking lot of the Ranger Station. Come through the Main Gate and take your first left. Continue down the road approximately 1/4 mile, and you'll see the Ranger Station and parking lot on your left. Dogs are welcome. Children are welcome but we will be walking several miles.

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.
