Pittsburgh Platoon

Event overview

In celebration and honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. and his dedication to service, join Pittsburgh 1st Platoon and Center of Life for a day of service! Last year, we renovated the library room and parent lounge at Center of Life's FUSION after school site. Both of these rooms are now regularly used both during the after school program and by the community for meeting space. They loved it so much, that they have asked up to renovate their classrooms as well! This year, we will be renovating the after school classrooms! We will be painting, building, crafting and decorating 2 of the rooms during this project. We will be following up and renovating the other 2 classrooms in February! Make sure to register online, as the first 50 people registered will get a special gift of Mission Continues swag specially made for this event!

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.
