Join The Mission Continues, RTX, and local community members for an Impactful Day of Service in Tucson!

We’re excited to be in Tucson, AZ for our 1st dedicated Day of Service at Ocotillo Learning Center (OLC) in partnership with RTX! Serving alongside our friends at RTX and the amazing staff from OLC, as well as local veterans and volunteers, we'll join forces to beautify the campus and expand the resources provided to the students, parents, and community that Ocotillo Learning Center supports every day.

Potential Projects may Include:
> Expanding the outdoor Sensory Garden for more access and use
> Building a fence for the Pre-K area and shed for storing gardening tools and supplies
> Assembling furniture and equipment for placement throughout the campus
> Cleaning, organizing, and painting interior spaces

Come ready to make a difference, connect with fellow volunteers, and leave a lasting mark on the Tucson community!

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.

Support Our Work

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Your gift today will allow you to reach more veterans in nearly 60 communities across the country.
