Detroit Platoon

Event overview

Detroit 1st Platoon has invested many hours and resources into Central High School and our work is appreciated by the staff, the community, and, most importantly, the students. Through Project Resilience, we will continue to make Central a beautiful place where students will be excited to step foot into everyday. On MLK Day, we continued to repaint areas of the school, so let's continue to give this space the touch up it needs. We will continue to paint some areas on the second floor and up to the 3rd floor stairway. We will also touch up the restroom doors and hang painted canvases of college logos as well as various painting project throughout the school. Please arrive by 9:00 AM for registration. A pancake breakfast will be provided followed by kick off and project team assignments. Let's get it done and make our impact greater!

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.
