Boston Platoon

Event overview

Get off the Freedom Trail and explore the darker side of Boston! This original guided walk through misery, misfortune, malevolence and murder is based on true historical events that have occurred in Boston. Fact is often stranger than fiction! For more details on what to expect on the tour, check out: http://www.bostonbyfoot.org/tours/Dark_Side For the start of the tour, our plan is to link up at 10am at the Tony DeMarco Statue, which is located at 1252 Cross Street in Boston's North End. The tour will last about 90 minutes and, when it concludes, we'll look to grab lunch at a near restaurant. The tour itself is free for TMC members to attend, but members may choose to donate directly to the tour organizer, Boston By Foot, through its website (www.bostonbyfoot.org). Participation in the event is limited to 20 people and registration will occur on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please be advised that the tour is most suitable for those who are 18+ years old.

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.
