What does it mean to be a Platoon Leader?
The Service Platoon Leader guides a team of service-minded veterans and community volunteers to make a lasting impact in their city.
They are dedicated to service—and their enthusiasm makes everyone want to take part. They plan, organize, and recruit volunteers to participate in service projects supporting local nonprofits, and get to know members of the platoon through social and networking events. The PL has a unique role in connecting veterans looking for opportunities to continue to serve, as well as local community partners who are able to benefit from the skills, talent and work ethic of veterans.
After completing the 6 month Service Leadership Corps training, you’ll be ready to take on new challenges in your community and bring people together in service.
The average Platoon Leader volunteers for 10 hours per week engaging with a community organization to plan projects for the service platoon, such as creating or maintaining a community garden, collecting and distributing food to community members, or simply adding volunteer capacity where it can have the greatest impact.
Platoon Leaders develop leadership teams of other veterans, family members and community volunteers to help accomplish their missions and train others to lead for future projects.
