Program
Back on My Feet starts with a run, but builds to so much more. The community supports members as they enter into the core of our program, Next Steps, where they can achieve training, education, employment and housing.
About Back on My Feet
Back on My Feet combats homelessness through the power of fitness, community support and essential employment and housing resources.
Workforce Development
After members have committed to 30 days of early morning runs with 90% attendance, they earn the opportunity to go into phase two of our program, Next Steps. Here is where our Workforce Development training begins: each member attends financial literacy classes and job skills training provided through partnerships with our corporate partners, better preparing them for the jobs and lives ahead of them.
Back on My Feet has given me a second chance at success — a chance to do better. I’m finally part of a community. I would still be lost without Back on My Feet’s support.
The most important thing about this program is that I got love. These people loved me until I learned to love myself again… Today I walk with my head held higher.
It is one thing for a corporation to give money, but it is another thing to really get involved. I appreciate everything that Marriott has done for me and for Back on My Feet
Running with people who listen, care, and cheer on has been both healing and empowering. With the help of Back on My Feet, I have grown, risen, and now I thrive.
I didn’t have to work because of my military injury, but I wanted to. The door was opened, and I walked through it, with the help and support of Back on My Feet.
