Work Day at Honouliuli

March 16, 2019

07:00 AM - 12:30 PM HST

Oahu Platoon

Event overview

Join Oahu's First Platoon for a work day at Honouliuli National Monument. We will be helping the National Parks Service maintain the active archaeological sites at the internment camp. Meet up will be in the North section of University of Hawaii West Oahu's parking lot. We have to enter through a controlled access point, so we must all arrive and leave the site together. If you are late, you will not be able to get in. Prior to entry, an NPS volunteer form must be filled out to gain access to the site that will be collected the morning of the work day by NPS personnel. NPS Volunteer form link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_U5mBjd4O-VcFaMm7EppYrnSRbKYtpLU/view?usp=sharing Bring a small packed lunch and snacks, everything carried in must be carried out and we must leave no waste whatsoever. Entrance to the site requires a short hike and the terrain is quite rugged. Be prepared to sweat!

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.
