The Mission Continues[1] is a 501(c)(3) national nonprofit organization[2] that aims to empower military veterans to apply their skills and leadership abilities to benefit under-resourced communities. Established with the recognition that veterans possess a unique drive and dedication to serve, the organization seeks to harness these qualities to foster community development and support. By providing veterans with the tools and opportunities to continue their service beyond the military, the organization addresses the dual challenges of veteran reintegration and community underdevelopment.[3] They connect veterans with under-resourced communities, helping veteran volunteers collaborate with nonprofit partners.[4][5]
