Back on My Feet's residential and non-residential members (volunteers) run each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning at Trinity House, Salvation Army, and Gateway Center. We will talk more during orientation about the particulars, but generally speaking we do ask that as a team member you are able to commit to running at least one morning per week. This creates the consistency and stability so crucial to both individual and team success!

Mission Statement
Back on My Feet (BoMF) is a national, for-purpose 501(c)3 organization that uses running to help those experiencing homelessness change the way they see themselves so they can make real change that results in employment and independent living.
The organization’s mission is not to create runners within the homeless population, but to use running to create self-sufficiency in the lives of those experiencing homelessness. The program’s success is measured by how many Members achieve independence through employment and housing.
Description
Through dedication and hard work, Residential Members (those experiencing homelessness) earn the opportunity to create a new road for themselves. Running leads to personal transformation and dedication to the program leads to access to training, employment and housing resources. Through community and corporate support, the program strives to change the perception of homelessness.
