Service Project

Furniture Build at Grant Avenue Elementary

October 27, 2018

10:00 AM - 04:00 PM EDT

New York City Platoon

Event overview

On Oct 6th, The Mission Continues Bronx Platoon mobilized to help DreamYard Project with their mission to build pathways to equity and opportunity through the arts. During that event, we prepped the school's library for a major renovation. DreamYard needs our help once again. This time, they need our help to finish the last phase of their library renovation. The school's library used to have furniture that was used by middle school kids but now that the library is part of the elementary school, that furniture is unusable by kids in grades K-5. The platoon will be spending the afternoon assembling furniture to ensure that the youth of Grant Ave Elementary are able to use the library to its fullest potential. The entrance to enter the school is on E 164th and Morris Ave. You'll need your ID to sign in at the security desk. The event is also listed to go until 4pm but if we get done fast, we'll be leaving well before that time. We look forward to seeing 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.
