Earth Month: Garden Creation at OC Academy of Sciences and Arts

April 26, 2025

09:00 AM - 02:00 PM PDT

Orange County Platoon

Event overview

This Earth Day let’s come together and give back to our community in a meaningful way. We will be rolling up our sleeves to create a garden at Orange County Academy of Sciences and Arts!

This is your chance to experience the camaraderie and teamwork working alongside veterans and community members. Whether you’re a veteran or not, you’ll gain a unique perspective on service as we all unite to give back to our communities.

We'll be building some plant beds and benches, so wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty/painted. Lunch will be provided, so please make sure you account for your youths when registering so we have an accurate headcount.

See you there!

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.
