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 600 members and are always looking for fun, enthusiastic and committed people to join our team. Our members are at all different levels – beginner, intermediate and advanced as we run at all different paces and different distances. We will place you on a team that is at your fitness level.
We currently have six BOMF teams in Philadelphia that meet every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. The following are the locations, times and current distances as of June 20th, 2009.

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 Kim Sauer, 215-350-4112 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 Kim Sauer.
