Broward County Platoon

Event overview

Welcome to Broward 1st Platoons inaugural service project! We will be hosting a service project in partnership with Jack & Jill Children's Center. Founded in 1942 by the Junior League of Greater Fort Lauderdale, Jack & Jill Children’s Center started as a day-care for women whose husbands went to war and now needed to enter the workforce. Jack & Jill Children’s Center is the oldest nonprofit provider of early childhood education in Broward county. The changes in family structure has led to their evolution as an organization, transforming Jack & Jill into what it is today: A school for children of high-need working families, fighting to break the cycle of poverty in South Florida. We will be putting together a few playground sets as well as laying some AstroTurf. Along with that we will be painting a short fence and installing a bamboo screen along the outer perimeter fence. Drinks and snacks will be provided. We will also have a DJ so be ready to wiggle while you work! Lets' show Broward County that Broward 1st Platoon is here and what we are all about!

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.
