This is a fantastic opportunity to give back to our planet and enjoy a day filled with meaningful activities and community spirit. 🌟 Before you get excited: 1️⃣ Register here first! 2️⃣ Then, secure your spot by registering on the Miami Dade County Park Link: https://miamidadeparks.com/FL/miami-dade-county-parks-recreation/catalog?filter=c2VhcmNoPTEyOTU4NTk=. PLEASE don't forget this step; failure to register on BOTH platforms will result in losing a spot. 🔥 What’s on the agenda? 🌳 Planting Native Species: Dive into the heart of Pine Rockland restoration areas to plant native flora and help our ecosystem thrive. 🚫 Removing Invasive Plants: Team up to clear our trails of unwelcome plants, protecting our native landscapes. 🚮 Litter Cleanup: Embark on a quest to identify and pick up litter and debris, keeping our park pristine and wildlife safe. 🌟 Earth Day is one of my favorite projects of the year, and I’m super excited to see everyone come out and make a significant impact in the community. Let’s have fun and make Earth Day 2024 a memorable one! See you soon! 💚

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. 

How to volunteer 

Click “Attend” to fill in simple volunteer information. You will get an email confirmation and updates about this event through your choice of email and text messages. 

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.
