Joining us at Garcia Park any Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday. Here we meet with participants to walk/run from 7:30am-8:30am. This is an opportunity to walk/jog/run with participants, often just being a listening ear. One Saturday a month we aim to provide a healthy breakfast to the group after the park training, meeting on the Haven for Hope Campus from 8:45am-9:30am.

The goal is to partner with a participant, working to create a positive human to human social connection. This can be a one time volunteer opportunity or recurring.

This opportunity supports S2F participants by building trust, encourages their physical movement, boosts mood, promotes healthy habits, creates a safe space for conversation, can aid as a positive distraction, and helps build consistency and routine.

We have walkers and runners of all paces, so truly anyone is welcome to join!

About STREET2FEET

Location:

1 HAVEN FOR HOPE WAY, Suite 3.510, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78207, US

Mission Statement

We exist to promote equitable health opportunities for individuals experiencing homelessness with a holistic approach to wellness in spirit, mind, and body.

Description

Street2Feet provides a holistic wellness program to individuals experiencing homelessness, many of whom are also currently in treatment for substance use disorder. We meet 6 days a week, 3 for walking/running and 3 for yoga/meditation/bodyweight movement, etc.
Our vision is to remove the barriers to exercise and health by introducing walking and running as an accessible/sustainable habit that builds community and empowers participants to develop a healthy life, regardless of income, zip code, or socioeconomic status.
We believe that movement, community, & service work as medicine.

We frequent community events to participate both as community members and as volunteers to be of service. Volunteer opportunities for community members include walking/running with participants, joining us for community events, donations organization, and various administration needs.
