The Mission Continues
The Mission Continues empowers military veterans to continue serving — this time in their own communities. By deploying leadership, discipline, and purpose toward civic action, they’re proving that service doesn’t end with the uniform.
- National Security
Through service platoons, leadership training, and community revitalization projects, veterans are transforming neighborhoods — and themselves. The Mission Continues bridges the gap between military and civilian life, offering belonging, impact, and renewed mission for those who have already given so much. We specifically support the Service Program’s Chicago Platoon, which empowers veterans to lead high-impact service projects in their own communities.
We align on the belief that purpose is a lifelong pursuit. This partnership celebrates the leadership and legacy of veterans while building stronger, more connected communities for all.
