The Mission Continues is a national nonprofit organization that connects military veterans with new missions in under-resourced communities. They believe service saves lives. Veterans possess the drive and desire to serve others, but without access to the tools needed, their potential to make a meaningful impact at the local level remains untapped. On the other end of the spectrum growing numbers of communities in this country are under-resourced and being left behind. The Mission Continues bridges this gap. Our vision is for all veterans with a desire to continue their service to be part of a movement to transform communities.
