Portland Platoon

Event overview

Come out and join YOUR Portland 1st Platoon, as they join the Veterans student body at Portland State University, and their awesome Veterans Resource Center, for a Veterans Day Celebration. ABOUT THE PSU VRC The Veterans Resource Center serves as a baseline of support for student veterans, active duty service members and dependents in order to meet their unique academic, professional and personal needs. The Veterans Resource Center provides faculty, staff and administrators with the necessary resources and information to support our military-connected community. The vision of the Veterans Resource Center is to ensure that all military-connected students (veterans, active duty, and dependents) transition successfully from the onset of admission to graduation. Portland State University was founded for WWII veterans in 1946 and Felita Singleton serves as the Director of the VRC that serves more than 1000 military-connected students at PSU. They offer a student lounge for meetings, eating lunch or just relaxing between classes. They also have a computer lab with printers; along with services such as career and academic advising, disability service accommodations, Lift for the 22, and more!

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.
