SVA NatCon Service Project 2025

January 02, 2025

Colorado Springs Platoon

Event overview

Last year, motivated veterans joined Student Veterans of America and The Mission Continues at Blue Hole Farm to kick off NatCon. Together, we made a real difference and formed lasting connections, and we’re thrilled to continue that momentum in Year 2!

This January, we're diving into a new project with a powerful mission at The Place in Colorado Springs. Formerly known as Urban Peak, The Place is dedicated to empowering youth to exit homelessness and build self-determined, fulfilling lives.

Our Goals Include:

Painting the entry, office, staff restroom, two ops rooms, and dining room
Refreshing and reorganizing key spaces like the kitchen, storage room, and two dorm rooms
Transforming the former Zen Room into a staff lounge and creating a new Zen Room from an office
Clearing outdoor spaces by demoing old picnic tables and organizing storage sheds

Help us make an impact, connect with fellow veterans, and bring life to this essential community space. Register today to be part of this meaningful project!

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.
