Back on My Feet (BoMF)
The GRC first became involved with Back on My Feet in Spring of 2011. Since then, we've been running with Team Clean and Sober Streets at 5:45am every Wednesday. As part of GRC's philanthropy mission, we try to attend BoMF every Wednesday morning as part of our regular practice schedule. If you're interested in joining us, meet us at 5:15am at the John Carroll statue!
About BoMF:
"Operating in 12 major cities coast-to-coast, Back on My Feet uses running and community to motivate and support individuals every step of the way from homelessness to independence. Our success is measured not only by the health impact of miles run, but also by how many individuals obtain education, employment and housing.
Back on My Feet recruits members (individuals experiencing homelessness) at homeless and residential facilities around the country and begins with a 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 educational support, job training programs, employment partnership referrals and housing resources. Almost 80% of individuals who start the program move into Next Steps." (www.backonmyfeet.org/mission-vision)
