Back on My Feet

Back on My Feet empowers people to overcome their struggles with homelessness and/or addiction through the power of fitness, community, and essential employment & housing resources. Changing old habits, discovering fresh perceptions of self, and transforming their futures. Operating in over 15 cities nationwide, Back on My Feet recruits members at homeless shelters and rehabilitation facilities. Our members begin their journey by committing to run 3 days a week and when they are ready, move on to educational support, job training programs, employment partnership referrals, and housing resources. Since 2007, Back on My Feet has served more than 7,500 individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness and engaged more than 100,000 volunteers and supporters. Our members have run a collective 950,000+ miles and obtained more than 9,000 jobs and homes. With your support, the communities we build together around the U.S. serve as lifelong support systems, removing shame and isolation. It's about the drive, grit, and courage to take that first step toward a new life. And while it may not be an easy road, we're there every step of the way. Get involved to make moves that matter today.
