Event overview

The Mission Continues will be hosting a national service project at Crandon Park on Saturday, January 27th, as part of our Alpha 2018 Orientation. Donated to Miami Dade County in 1940, Crandon Park is one of the country's best preserved natural beaches and wildlife sanctuaries, and is a popular location for all of South Florida's diverse community. Due to substantial hurricane damage and cutbacks in state funding, Crandon Park is in need of our help. Military veterans from across the country will join the Miami Service Platoon, the Florida Panthers Foundation and community volunteers to help preserve and protect Crandon Park by completing the following: - Restore sand dunes damaged by Hurricane Irma by planting 3,000 sea oats - Repurpose the old Miami Zoo exhibit grounds through landscaping projects, painting and bench building - Conduct beach cleanup and trail repair along Crandon Park Beach - Revive outdoor roller rink by adding a fresh coat of paint and refurbishing picnic tables Come out and serve alongside The Mission Continues during an incredible afternoon. 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.
