The GOTR curriculum includes a community service project. GOTR-DC recommends several organizations with whom our teams may choose to complete their service projects. Teams may also choose other service projects.

Back on My Feet: Back on My Feet, which launched in Philadelphia in 2007, is a nonprofit organization that promotes the self-sufficiency of the homeless population by engaging them in running to build strength, confidence and self-esteem. Members must run Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings and maintain a 90 percent attendance rating in order to move forward in the program and gain access to job training, employment and housing opportunities. In 2009, BOMF helped more than 120 members find employment, enroll into job training programs and/or assist in moving members out of the shelter into independent living. BOMF has received incredible media support, including attention from NBC Nightly News , ABC World News and CNN, for its ingenuity in tackling this difficult social issue.
