Detroit Platoon

Event overview

Join The Mission Continues as we team up with People for Palmer Park, The City of Detroit, and KaBOOM! to build a playground at Palmer Park! You'll be amazed to be a part of this project and see an entire playground being constructed in a few short hours of hard work and fun! You don't want to miss this project, so be sure to sign up! Volunteers should be age 16+ and will assemble playground pieces, mix concrete, move mulch, etc. Youth activities will be provided as well as gloves, goggles, breakfast and lunch. Kaboom! is a program partner and wants us to know that play is central to a child's ability to grow into a productive adult. Together, we can ensure kids get the balance of play they need to thrive! Please join us and show that play matters to you. You can also show your support for the cause by joining the conversation online on October 20th, 2018 with the hashtag #playmatters. #playmatters #CharlieMike In addition to completing registration on this page, please also complete the KaBOOM! electronic waiver to expedite check in on build day: https://palmerpark.eventbrite.com

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.
