Event overview

Martin Luther King Jr. was, is a hero of our time who epitomized selfless service and sacrifice for the common goods, for social progress and social justice. It is in his vision that we welcome you and are excited to host the first major service project in 2019 in conjunction with our national remembrance of Martin Luther King Jr, We are going to have an amazing day of service at the Northwest Tap Connection. The platoon will be supporting NW Tap Connection's leadership team, as we renovate the grand old dance studio to enhance and promote various dance and performing arts programs. We will be working on the next critical phase in our process of assisting the NW Taps Connection in constructing their dance studio. The project will consist of us doing demolition of a exterior fence and deck, installing new fence in it's place, cutting wood and building flower beds for the youth. The Mission Continues aims to build community, reduce youth delinquency, and enhance and cultivate cultural and neighborhood identities. These goals fall directly in line with NW Tap. Come on out and join us for a great day of community service, there will be tons to do, and plenty of projects for the kids, so bring the whole family!

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.
