MLK Day of Service!

Newark Platoon

Event overview

Join us for Martin Luther King Jr's Day of Service at East Side High School. For decades, Newark has been working on major initiatives to improve their public school system. As much as this is a success, projects and plans can take time until completion. With the help of the Newark Platoon members, we are able to provide the sweat equity in man(women)power and resources to help achieve their goal. Work alongside students, teachers, and parents on reimagining their classrooms with awesome colors. This is an essential part of their learning experience. We are looking forward to you joining us in making a positive change on MLK Weekend! We will be painting. The Newark Platoon will be providing lunch. Kick-off 2020 with this amazing project.

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.
