A GENERATION OF VETERANS ANSWERED THE CALL
The attacks of September 11, 2001 sparked millions of Americans into service. Many felt compelled to join the United States Military. Now, 23 years later, the majority of those brave and patriotic Americans are veterans. Many of these veterans still have a desire to serve this country, and they have been empowered to do so right here at The Mission Continues.
With the help of dedicated community partners, selfless sponsors, and volunteers from every corner of this nation, our veterans are honoring 9/11 by continuing to serve right here at home. Through this service, these veterans are finding purpose, connectedness, and growth while assisting our country’s under-resourced communities.
This year, the work continues, and our veterans are choosing to report for duty in our communities. The mission is clear, and we need you to join us, United In Service, this September.

ABOUT THE MISSION CONTINUES
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 them 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. The Mission Continues’ vision is for all veterans with a desire to continue their service to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities in a lasting and impactful way, while gaining ongoing exposure to opportunities for veteran connectedness, purpose, and growth.
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.
