Volunteer with a Service Platoon

Serve again—in your community

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. 

Our service platoons are known for their power-packed service projects. Each service platoon holds projects that are aligned with the needs of their community partner. On any given project day, a platoon could complete activities such as building planters for a community garden, painting a mural on the side of a school, or laying down new sod for a park.  

But that’s not all, service platoons also gather for social events and support other local organization events, and many of our events are kid friendly. Everyone is invited to serve, regardless of veteran status: a service platoon is for you if you have a passion for service. 

We currently have service platoons in more than 40+ cities across the country that are having events at least once a month.
