Back on My Feet is a national non-profit organization that combats homelessness through the power of running, community support, and essential employment and housing sources. Back on My Feet recruits individuals (members) at homeless and residential facilities across the country and begins with a member’s 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 education, employment and housing opportunities.
Volunteers come out early - set your alarms! - to one of our locations and run between one and five miles with our members. All fitness levels are welcome- runners, joggers and walkers too. We gather every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but the desired volunteer commitment is once a week. Fall in love with the community (which, we think you will). You can join once a week or all three mornings.
