Service Project

Maria Sola Community Green Space

August 29, 2020

10:00 AM - 02:00 PM EDT

New York City Platoon

Event overview

For many years, Maria Sola Green Space had been run by a local resident and former golden glove boxer named Jose Rodriguez. He was a retired NYC Parks worker who personally started the space in 1992 naming it after his wife, Maria Sola. When he became ill in 2016, a group of local residents took over the space building on what Jose already started by enhancing the space to make it available to community members for hosting social, art, and music events. Join the Bronx Platoon as we build a Kiosk, a children's sandbox, and giant Jenga set for the community. Please wear a mask and all social distance guidelines will be strictly followed. If you are feeling ill please notify the platoon leader at afulgencio@missioncontinues.org and do not attend the event.

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

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.
