Event overview

Veterans Day- Honoring All Who Served! Come out and join all five platoons as we get together for greatness at Eight Million Stories! In the USA, Veterans Day annually falls on November 11, which is the anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended World War I hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany in 1918. This year, we will honor our veterans on November 17th as we help Eight Million Stories, an organization that provides comprehensive support to previously incarcerated youth. We will beautify this campus and create bright spots so that youth have a positive environment where they can thrive. We need volunteers for the following projects: 1. Painting outside of two buildings 2. Painting inside of two buildings (consist of classrooms, restrooms, and offices) 3. Painting basketball goals (Placing nets on basketball goals and drawing the box on the goal) 4. Landscaping and mulching 5. Re-striping parking lot Registration and breakfast will start at 8:30 a.m. so that we can kick off the event on time. Snacks and lunch will be provided. We hope to see you there!

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.
