Event overview

The Killeen Platoon will be supporting Killeen Creators with the launch of their new teen program where we will use this event as a means to recruit teens and introduce them to the transformative power of gardening, mentorship, and community building. We invite volunteers and teens to participate in hands-on activities such as building garden beds and planting seeds while learning about the program's leadership values, community building, empathy, and mentorship. This event is designed to inspire teens to take an active role in creating a compassionate and sustainable garden space, fostering personal growth and meaningful impact in their community.

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.
