Earth Day at Mosaic Prep Academy

New York City Platoon

Event overview

Join us as The Mission Continues Harlem Platoon returns to Mosaic Prep Academy in East Harlem once again to participate in a large day of service geared towards revitalizing the school so that it is safe and optimizes student's learning experience. During our Veterans Day service project last year, our team of motivated veterans demolished old benches and garden bed that were no longer usable. This Earth Day, our platoon will build the school new benches and garden beds so that the school can restart it's agriculture program to teach it's scholars about fruits, vegetables, and the joys of growing food. Project tasks for the day will include installing a privacy screen on their patio, building deck benches, building garden beds, building kids picnic tables, building bird-feeders, mounting an outdoor chalkboard to a wall, building 2 Adirondack chairs, demolishing 15 benches, painting the back wall of the auditorium, and if we have enough people, painting a couple classrooms. We need all the hands possible to make this project a success. 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.
