Event overview

Come join us at the Phyllis Wheatley Community Center for our new Platoon Leader's first service project, and another fantastic project supporting the community in and around Phyllis Wheatley. This will be our fourth service project at Phyllis Wheatley, and we are looking at making it one of our largest yet. With large goals, large volunteer numbers we have the potential to make a large impact. Phyllis Wheatley is an integral part of the community, and it has been supporting the community for nearly 100 years, so let us continue to support our community by supporting Phyllis Wheatley.

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.
