Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Strides in Recovery.
We have lots of opportunities to volunteer in person, walking or running side-by-side with our program participants who are currently in residential treatment programs or sober living homes. You can also help behind the scenes.
To begin, please complete an application (see right). When that's done, our Volunteer Coordinator will contact you to welcome you to the program, provide an orientation, and answer any questions you may have.

Mission Statement
Strides in Recovery is a Southern California nonprofit which helps newly sober individuals grow physically, emotionally and mentally stronger so they can do their best at the hard work of recovery. We achieve these results by coaching people in addiction treatment programs to complete events ranging from 5Ks to full marathons.
Our recovery-focused messaging promotes mental, emotional and physical healing, while reinforcing the life skills and mindset needed to support long term sobriety. Our welcoming and supportive environment promotes a sense of community and belonging for all.
