Event overview

The Mission Continues Detroit 1st Platoon and Team Rubicon are teaming up to support Life ReModeled for their annual week of service in our operation zone surrounding Central High School and Durfee Elementary campus. Participants will receive a customized t-shirt especially for the event! Find more information about our partner in service Life Remodeled at their website: http://liferemodeled.com/parkingandotherinfo/ SAFETY TIPS Understand the assignment. Stick together. No one goes anywhere alone. Stay in the assigned area. Do not enter houses or vehicles. Use equipment that you know how to operate. Keep track of tools. Use common sense. At the end of the day, bring all tools to the Command Center. Put away tools as instructed. Drink plenty of water! Debris goes on the curb in three separate piles: Yard Waste; Tires; Garbage.

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.
