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

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

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.
