Event overview

Have you heard? Pittsburgh 2nd Platoon is undergoing a change in leadership! Our beloved Platoon Leader for almost 2 years is passing the Platoon Leader torch on to one of our finest Platoon Members, Joel Laudenslager. Joel will officially start this role in April 2017 and this project will be his first official project as the new Platoon Leader! Please join us in welcoming Joel in this new role and honoring Matt for his last two years of dedicated service. In the true spirit of The Mission Continues, Joel will hit the ground running with this amazing service project! We will be preparing Hosanna House's outdoor youth facilities for it's 2017 summer camp! Children from across eastern Pittsburgh attend camp here; to include youth from Homewood, Wilkinsburg, Larimer and East Liberty. We will be painting, building ramps, landscaping and much more! This will be a fun one! Lunch will be provided by Hosanna House! We strive to make our projects accessible for everyone and this project meets those standards as well! Come and help us get the camp facilities looking better than ever!

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.
