Event overview

The Mission Continues Puerto Rico Service Platoon is joining forces with the National Parks Conservation Association and the National Park Service for an INCREDIBLE two day service project at El Morro! This project is in honor of Independence Day El Morro has a rich military history with the Spanish and American militaries, and was declared a World Heritage Site by the United Nations. The fort has sustained damage from Hurricane Maria, so we will need 50 volunteers each day for a total of 100 The Mission Continues volunteers to come together and help beautify El Morro. Volunteers will be taking on a huge painting project inside the fort, in addition to other repair work. Lunch and water will be provided to all volunteers, and this opportunity is open to youth and families.

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

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.
