Event overview

It has been an amazing year so far, and we want to celebrate it by saying thank you to our amazing volunteers. Whether it's been Service Projects at the Ethiopian Community in Seattle, or Support Projects in Rainier Beach...we want to say thank you. Our volunteers are the engine behind what we do, and we would not be where we are today without you. This year, we're co-hosting the event with our partners over at the National Parks Conservation Association for what promises to be an amazing evening of food, drink and culture. We're holding the event at the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience. ABOUT THE MUSEUM As a National Park Service Affiliated Area and the first Smithsonian affiliate in the Pacific Northwest, the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience offers an authentic perspective on a unique version of the American story. Nationally recognized for our work in creating dynamic, community-driven exhibitions and programs, we put our community at the heart of each exhibition we create. The stories you see and hear within our walls are their authentic experiences and perspectives. From the struggles of early Asian pioneers to accomplished works by national Asian Pacific American artists, their contributions give us a look at what it means to be uniquely American. You can learn more about the museum at http://www.wingluke.org The event is free and open to all over the edge of 18.... We certainly hope to see you all there to say thank you for 2017, as we look towards the new year.

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.
