Colorado Springs Platoon

Event overview

For the past two years, The Mission Continues and Student Veterans of America have kicked off NatCon with hands-on service projects, bringing veterans together to make a lasting impact in the local community. We’re excited to continue this tradition for the 18th Annual NatCon and we want YOU to be part of it!

This year, we’ll be partnering with a local organization in Colorado Springs to take on a meaningful project that will leave a lasting mark. While the exact partner and tasks are still being finalized, expect a high-energy day of service where we’ll roll up our sleeves to tackle projects like painting, landscaping, organizing, and revitalizing community spaces.

This is more than just a volunteer event—it’s an opportunity to connect with fellow veterans, give back to the community, and kick off NatCon with purpose. Stay tuned for more details, but don’t wait—sign up now to secure your spot and be part of something incredible!

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.
