Register here (click on the FL-Orlando option): https://www.crowdrise.com/registration/event_options/15984 In honor of Marine veteran Clay Hunt, an original member of Team Rubicon who took his own life after battling PTSD and depression, Team Rubicon, Team Red White and Blue, and The Mission Continues will partner to participate in the 6th annual Run as One on April 1st 2017. The event will not only serve as the celebration of a continued partnership, but will be a symbol of leadership, action, and collaboration across the veterans support landscape. Why We Do What We Do (Team Red, White and Blue) Our organizations understand the challenges associated with returning home from war. Combat affects every veteran. While some wounds are visible, many are not. Guilt, survivor’s remorse, post-traumatic stress, and anxiety are all too common among those who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. We acknowledge and accept these challenges. We Are Doing Something About It (Team Red, White and Blue) Our teams are a collection of Doers. We have built programs that allow veterans to proactively combat their challenges with a heavy dose of purpose, camaraderie, and accomplishment. Veterans are an incredibly strong population and when connected to their community will do amazing things. The solution is within all of us.

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.
