Updated: March 3, 2010BECOME A BOMF MEMBER IN BALTIMORE
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 250 members in Baltimore 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. 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!
Here are quotes from some of our current non-residential members:
“I am loving it so far! Since i work in the building i already knew all the guys in the program but it's great to bond with them in this way. I forgot how much fun it is to run in a group and it has helped my running enourmously.” -Hannah Cox, Christopher’s Place
“I just got back from my first run with the Christopher's Place Team. It was awesome!!! I feel so uplifted after the run and meeting all the other members. I felt a part of the team the moment I arrived.” -Diane Amin, Christopher’s Place
