BECOME A BoMF MEMBER IN PHILADELPHIA

Back on My Feet is a unique organization that strives to challenge society’s perception of homelessness. Volunteer is a word that is widely used in the nonprofit world, but we don’t use that word at BoMF – here, we are all members and we all follow the same guidelines regardless of race, education, socio-economic status or any other labels.

We are proud to have more than 800 non-residential members and are always looking for fun, enthusiastic and committed people to join our team. We value your participation at BoMF and are grateful for whatever commitment you can make. We ask for at least 1 morning per week - anything above and beyond that is up to you and your availability. The morning, whether it is Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, is up to you, and can change from week to week.

You will also find yourself among a broad spectrum of competitive and recreational runners. Some are in training, some are beginning, some run for fun - whatever your ability or interest, there is certainly a place for you! There are currently nine BoMF teams in Philadelphia that meet every Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Some meet on Saturdays as well. The following are the locations, times and current distances of the teams:

Our Brother's Place - Corner of Spring Garden and 10th Street  Map  5:30 AM  1-6 mile runs

New Jerusalem Now - Temple University Area - 2011 W. Norris St.  Map  5:40 AM 1-4 mile runs

Ready, Willing and Able - Corner of Broad and Bainbridge Sts. Map 5:30 AM 1-4 mile runs

Somerset - Parrish and Broad  Map 5:30 AM 1-6 mile runs

St. John's - 1221 Race St. 5:30 AM 1 - 4 miles

Sheila Dennis House - 2601 N. Broad St. Map 5:30AM 1-3 miles (walk/run)

An integral part of the BoMF program is the introduction of longer runs on Saturday mornings for teams that are reaching training milestones. These runs can vary in time of departure, distance of run and start location. Please contact Katie Pfeifer, 215-772-1080 for more specific Saturday morning run information.

All new members are required to attend a 45 minute orientation prior to taking part in a morning run. Please see the form below to choose the time and location of your orientation. If you have any further questions please contact Katie Pfeifer.
