Event overview

TMC Los Angeles and Orange County platoons will be providing support to the 61st Force Support Squadron Military & Family Readiness Center red carpet gala at the LA Air Force Base. At the gala active duty service members will celebrate the 5th anniversary of the U.S. Space Force. TMC volunteers are needed to help make the event a success and will fill support roles such as checking in guests, acting as fake paparazzi on the red carpet, helping as servers and table runners, and we are looking for two experienced photographers to man the photo station. Volunteers will be required to wear semi-formal attire of black pants and a white or black top.

The event begins at 5pm and ends at 11pm. Volunteers are requested for several positions, including:

Check-in guests and then act as runners for table assistance (4 slots)

Buffet Servers (10 slots)

Fake Paparazzi's (8 slots)

Experienced Photographer (for real photos, 2 slots)

DRESS CODE: All volunteers will be required to wear a white or black shirt and black pants (note the event is formal). All volunteers must pass a background check to gain access to the base. A week prior to the event a POC will reach out for volunteers name, DOB, and last four to coordinate a base pass. Come out and help us assist the base to put on a memorable gala for our local active duty service members.

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.
