BECOME A BACK ON MY FEET MEMBER IN BOSTON
Thank you for your interest in becoming a non-residential (volunteer) member of Back on My Feet! Our organization isn’t possible without amazing people like you, and we’re excited to get you involved with one of our incredible teams.
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.
NOTE: We are also conducting special orientations for people interested in helping us plan and conduct special events on January 23rd and February the 22nd. You can be a walker, runner, or coucher to help people get back on their feet!
Each team starts at 5:45 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from their respective locations and 7 a.m. on Saturdays (please see the team pages for more information).
Our six partnering shelters and their locations are listed below. Please fill out the sign-up form and choose an orientation date that works for you. If you have any other questions, please contact Meghan Goughan at meghan@backonmyfeet.org.
