Maria Sola Community Green Space

August 29, 2020

10:00 AM - 02:00 PM EDT

New York City Platoon

Event overview

For many years, Maria Sola Green Space had been run by a local resident and former golden glove boxer named Jose Rodriguez. He was a retired NYC Parks worker who personally started the space in 1992 naming it after his wife, Maria Sola. When he became ill in 2016, a group of local residents took over the space building on what Jose already started by enhancing the space to make it available to community members for hosting social, art, and music events. Join the Bronx Platoon as we build a Kiosk, a children's sandbox, and giant Jenga set for the community. Please wear a mask and all social distance guidelines will be strictly followed. If you are feeling ill please notify the platoon leader at afulgencio@missioncontinues.org and do not attend the event.

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.
