Changing Lives One Mile, Job and House at a Time
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 in their lives 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 sulf-sufficiency in the lives of those experiencing homelessness. The program's success is measured by how many Members obtain independence through employment, job training, and housing.
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 resoures. Through community and corporate support, the program strives to change the perception of homelessness.
