Orange County Platoon

Event overview

Orange County Platoon has been chosen to be the partner responsible for enhancing the quality of life for the students at Carr Intermediate. We are being asking to provide a plethora of high rise garden boxes for students to grain knowledge of the green thumb way. Also, the youth will enjoy the newly established zen garden during lunch by seating on the benches within the sectioned off area. We will construct walls from lattice for privacy to those students utilizing the area. We have been asked to also create fun new designs on the walls for bulletin announcements and rewards for academic acknowledgment for excelling students. As you can tell, there is MUCH work to be done and I cannot accomplish this alone so please join this great cause and help make a difference!

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.
