Service Project

MLK Day of Service 2020

January 18, 2020

10:00 AM - 03:00 PM PST

Seattle Platoon

Event overview

We are going to utilize our creative minds and talents to create personal shields of commitment to social justice that Dr. King embodied. Then, collectively, we will work on a team effort to create 5 Team Shields for each of the Service Platoons in the Pacific Northwest. Best of all, you get to take home your own personalized shields to take on MLK marches in your community and hang on your walls/offices.

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.
