Operation Vet Check (Orientation)

October 15, 2020

07:00 PM - 08:00 PM EDT

New York City Platoon

Event overview

Please join us for an orientation covering the future work associated with Operation Vet Check, a new project our platoon will be participating in as we work to combat the social isolation many of us have felt during the COVID pandemic, especially our city's veterans. Operation Vet Check is an initiative being taken on by a couple of NYC non-profit organizations to include ourselves, working in collaboration with our city's Department of Veteran Services. Our goal will be to call our city's veterans on a weekly basis to check in with them, pass on any resources they may need and ensure they know they have a team behind them at the NYC Department of Veterans Services who are only a phone call away. Our orientation will set up what you can expect with regard to the level of our volunteer's commitment levels, what kinds of training and support our team will provide our platoon's volunteers and lastly, what kind of real time feedback is coming back from these calls being made by other organizations working within the same operation. We will hold a couple of orientation meetings via zoom in order we can work around everyone's calendar and look forward to connecting with you all soon.

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.
