Event overview

This year marks the 16-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and as we remember those who’ve served, here in Houston the anniversary has taken on an additional meaning. Due to the severity of Hurricane Harvey and its impact on our communities, we will honor those who served 16 years ago by uniting in service to help KIPP North. Please come out and join all 5 Houston service platoons as we commemorate our national day of service and help with Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. Registration and breakfast will start at 10:30 am so that we can kick off the event on time. Snacks and lunch will be provided. Please bring your energy and family and we look forward to seeing you there.

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.
