Event overview

Welcome to registration page for The Mission Continues - Birmingham area platoon George Dailey Park Phase III revitalization, coordinated for the national initiative: Martin Luther King Jr. - Day of Service. This event will begin following the coordinated Shelby Chapter - NAACP MLK awareness march ending at Montevallo High School. Participants are invited to attend the rededication ceremony for the George Dailey Park to honor Montevallo's first African American city counsel member & enjoy some of the new features of the park. A short rededication of the park will take place where a special engraved plaque will be installed telling the story of the significance of Mr. Dailey's service & the ongoing phased revitalization of the park. A small team of veterans & volunteers will work diligently in the background to start the newest addition to the park; an inclusive veteran garden & outdoor classroom in the southwest corner of the park along with other small improvement projects. After the rededication, TMC Birmingham will sponsor a community cookout to celebrate the legacy of Dr. King. For more information about the national MLK Day of Service initiative, visit: www.missioncontinues.org The Mission Continues - Birmingham Platoon is seeking 15 volunteers to help construct the outdoor classroom & work to finish small projects around the park like the walking trail, painting, staining, & grounds maintenance.

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.
