Phoenix Platoon

Event overview

Join Phoenix 1st Platoon for The Mission Continues United In Service campaign in remembrance September 11th as we serve alongside veterans and community members to enhance Encanto Park! This 222 acre “Enchanted” park consists of picnic areas, a lagoon, a boat house, swimming pool, nature trail, fishing, two golf courses and an amusement park. Our projects will consist of: putting together metal picnic tables, sanding and painting wood to drill and bolt to revitalize the older benches, remove tree debris from islands, painting over bathroom graffiti and other landscaping opportunities. Although we have a full day of projects and activities we will also make sure that we have an indoor area with water to help with the Phoenix temperatures. Both of our Phoenix Service Platoons as well as many other organizations and groups will be making an impact together. So come join the camaraderie and celebrate our community service in remembrance of September 11th.

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.
