Event overview

Come out to a combined social with The Mission Continues, Team RWB and Row NYC for a day on the water! In 2015 working with the NYC Parks, Row New York identified the Paerdegat Basin site as the Ideal place to bring the sport of Rowing to Brooklyn. The protected basin connecting to Jamaica Bay offers an ideal place for Row New York to expand its Youth and Adaptive programs. We will be participating in their rowing program. So come and relax on the largest lake in NYC. We will be rowing and enjoying the summer day and getting some fun exercise with both RWB and Row NYC. Look forward to seeing you there!

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.
