Volunteer With Baltimore Platoon

Platoon Summary

Baltimore Platoon is dedicated to improving the schools and public spaces of Harlem Park West through community driven, volunteer engagement. The Platoon works closely with Roots & Branches School and the Harlem Park West Neighborhood Association to help tackle some of the neighborhoods' most challenging issues through sacrifice, service, and camaraderie. Baltimore Platoon works to leverage their veteran leaders, dedicated volunteers, and resources to support City of Refuge, BUILD, and the Greater Baybrook Alliance in their efforts to create safe play areas for kids, commandeer abandoned lots for food-growing purposes, and transform existing - but neglected - parks into gathering spaces worthy of community pride.

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.
