Atlanta Platoon

Event overview

In honor of one of our most prolific Civil Rights Icons of the Century, please join the Atlanta Service Platoons as we along with our national partners from Starbucks and the Westside Service Corps will be providing a wonderful facelift to some of the spaces within the Bellwood Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club on the WestSide of Atlanta. The birthplace of Martin Luther King Jr. We will be painting the pool area, painting and installing new cabintes and desks in the art room, painting the stairwell, building storgae shelves for the teen center, laying new mulch on the playground, building an outdoor fitness area, staining the planter beds and filling them with new soil and planting perrenials and installing an outdoor basketball court at the English Ave Campus. There is plenty of work to be done and we need many hands to get it done.

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.
