Back on My Feet is an non-profit that combats homelessness through power of running, community support, and essential employment and housing resources.
On October 17th, Back on My Feet Greater Los Angeles will host its annual fundraising Gala, the year's largest event to raise the funds necessary to move our members' lives forward.
We're seeking volunteers to help secure items for our silent auction and live auction.
This is the perfect opportunity for anyone who is interested in learning more about non-profit management, fundraising, or who simply wants to help more people experiencing homelessness get back on their feet!

Mission Statement
Back on My Feet combats homelessness through the power of running, community support, and essential employment and housing resources.
Description
Back on My Feet seeks to revolutionize the way our society approaches homelessness. Our unique running-based model demonstrates that if you first restore confidence, strength, and self-esteem, individuals are better equipped to tackle the road ahead and move toward jobs, homes, and new lives. For all in need, we aim to provide: practical training and employment resources for achieving independence; an environment that promotes accountability; and a community that offers compassion and hope. For all with the capacity to serve-volunteers, donors, community and corporate partners-we seek to engage you in the profound experience of empowering individuals to achieve what once seemed impossible through the seemingly simple act of putting one foot in front of the other.
Operating in 12 major cities coast-to-coast, Back on My Feet uses running and community to motivate and support individuals every step of the way from homelessness to independence. Our success is measured not only by the health impact of miles run, but also by how many individuals obtain education, employment, and housing.
Back on My Feet recruits members at homeless and residential facilities around the country and begins with a commitment to run three days a week in the early morning. After 30 days in the program, members with 90% attendance earn the opportunity to move into the second phase of the program called Next Steps, which provides educational support, job training programs, employment partnership referrals, and housing resources.
