The Mission Continues is a national nonprofit organization that empowers veterans who are adjusting to life at home to find purpose through community impact. Our operations in cities across the country deploy veteran volunteers alongside non-profit partners and community leaders to solve some of the most challenging issues facing our communities: improving community education resources, eliminating food deserts, mentoring at-risk youth and more. Through six-month service fellowships, individual veterans all across the country make an impact on issues of importance to them and their communities. Through this unique approach, veterans build new skills and networks that help them successfully reintegrate to life after the military while making long-term, sustainable transformations in communities and inspiring future generations to serve.

Program Name: Her Mission
Problem
Research reveals that America’s nearly 300k women veterans are put at risk by a system designed for & dominated by male veterans.The challenges of readjustment to post-military life affect women differently than men & should receive attention from their local communities & the federal government that is at least comparable to that received by men.The unique needs of women veterans are varied & complex, spanning the areas of health care, sexual assault, employment, finance & social issues.
Strategy
The Mission Continues offers two programs to support the different stages of reintegration. Our fellowship program is designed but not limited to, veterans who recently left the military.This programs focus is to serve immediate needs such as; employment,re-tooling, continued service through volunteering & offering a living stipend. Our service platoons engage in monthly or bi-monthly team-based service and social events designed to build sense of purpose, camaraderie and social support.
