Athens Elementary Playground Build

January 16, 2016

09:00 AM - 04:00 PM CST

San Antonio Platoon

Event overview

Athens Elementary School is one of the oldest elementary schools in San Antonio and they are in need of a playground revitalization for the older children that are 6+ years of age. We will also be revitalizing their baseball field and painting some fun games on the asphalt. We may even have enough room to plant some new shade trees to help in the summer. Please join the Mission Continues 2nd Platoon San Antonio, Team RWB and Wounded Warrior Project in providing safe, updated equipment for these children. The parents and staff will be very involved and are looking forward to the community effort. Please make sure to sign up at the link for continuity purposes.

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.
