The Mission Continues

The Mission Continues is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting military veterans with new missions in under-resourced communities. Since its inception, the organization has activated 93,600 volunteers in service and completed 8,650 service projects. Serving 4,000 community organizations, The Mission Continues operates more than 40 service platoons across the United States. The organization offers Veteran Online Leadership Training (VOLT), which focuses on community leadership and personal development, and has a Women Veterans Leadership Program that has received almost 4,200 applications in four years. Additionally, The Mission Continues runs Operation Nourish, a program aimed at combating food insecurity in under-resourced communities, and the Mass Deployment program, which mobilizes veterans and volunteers for a week of service in a single city. The organization has received a $10 million grant from MacKenzie Scott and maintains partnerships with major corporations like Boeing and Raytheon Technologies (RTX). The Service Leadership Corps trains veterans to lead service platoons, and the organization also hosts a podcast called Boots On The Ground, which discusses issues affecting veterans and their communities. To honor and recognize the commitment, bravery, and sacrifice of military veterans, The Mission Continues has established a Tribute Wall. The organization also runs The Big Community Give Back, a fundraising competition for platoons.
