Miami Platoon

Event overview

Join us for an inspiring day of community service as the dedicated members of the Miami Platoon partner with Shake a Leg Miami to breathe new life into their shipyard! Together, we'll roll up our sleeves and tackle a range of important projects aimed at enhancing the beauty and functionality of this invaluable community space. Activities for the day will include: Bench Restoration: We'll work hand-in-hand to restore weathered benches, giving them a fresh, vibrant look and ensuring they provide comfortable seating for years to come. Ship Painting: Let your creativity flow as we bring a burst of color and life to the ships at Shake a Leg Miami. Your artistic touch will not only beautify the vessels but also serve as a symbol of hope and vitality for all who visit. Shipyard Clearing: Together, we'll clear the shipyard's back area, creating a clean and organized space that will enable Shake a Leg Miami to better serve their community and fulfill their mission. This event promises to be a day filled with camaraderie, teamwork, and the satisfaction of knowing you've made a tangible difference in the lives of those who rely on Shake a Leg Miami's resources and support. Don't miss this opportunity to be a part of something truly meaningful. Remember, every pair of hands makes a world of difference. See you there!

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.
