Orange County Platoon

Event overview

Join us as we partner with Inside the Outdoors at their Rancho Soñado location to clean up their outdoor education spaces. We will have projects for all skill levels and interests. We will be cleaning their pond from invasive plants, adding mulch to their trails, removing invasive plants along the trails, enclosing their pool with fabric fencing, and building a new kiosk for their entrance. About Inside the Outdoors: They work with all the schools districts in Orange County. Rancho Soñado is an environmental education facility located in the Santa Ana Mountains. Surrounded by preserves and national forest, Rancho Soñado gives students a chance to explore local ecology in a pristine environment represented by four Ecosystems: pond, a riparian area, oak woodland, and chaparral. 60% of students attending an Inside the Outdoors program are sponsored through grants and donations. Directions and parking: From Chapman/Santiago Canyon Rd. We are approximately 1 mile past Silverado School, which will be on your left. When you see a large electrical tower on your left, look for a white post/mail box with our sign "Rancho Soñado". The wrought iron gate also says Rancho Soñado. If you get to Plantenders Nursery you have gone too far. From El Toro Rd./Santiago Canyon Road. You will pass Cooks Corner, Modjeska Canyon Road and Jackson Ranch Road. Rancho Soñado is the third driveway past Plantenders Nursery. Just before the large electrical tower you will see a white post/mail box with our sign " Rancho Soñado". The wrought iron gate also says Rancho Soñado. If you get to Silverado School you have gone too far. *If there is traffic, you may want to continue down and make a u-turn at Jackson Ranch Road. Do not stop the flow of traffic on Santiago Canyon Road.

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.
