Volunteer With FeelFit Foundation
Bring your time, your skills, or your heart. We have a place for all three.
There's a moment on nearly every FeelFit hike when someone who almost didn't come says they're glad they did. Our volunteers create that moment, week after week, for people building a healthier life, regardless of their ability or where they started. We'd like you to help create the next one.
Find your place
Volunteers power every part of what we do. In each area you can work directly with FeelFitters, or help build the platform underneath them.
On the Ground
- Lead or support running events, hikes, trail-building days, tree plantings, and park, trail, and water cleanups
- Help run the roughly two community events we organize every month
- Work directly alongside FeelFitters, building their confidence and health in person
- No experience required. Training is provided for every role
FeelFit Studios
- Coach FeelFitters one-on-one, building and adjusting their day-to-day plan inside the app
- Lead live virtual sessions as a yoga instructor or trainer, or step in as a physical therapist when hands-on care is needed
- Build and improve the app across iOS, Android, and the backend that powers it
- Design the algorithms that turn steps, heart rate, nutrition, stress, and sleep into real coaching guidance
Caring for the Mind
- Volunteer as a licensed mental health professional, shaping the mind-care side of each FeelFitter's plan
- Be the human therapist our AI-guided therapy program brings in when a FeelFitter needs one
- Work in data analytics to help coaches and the therapy program serve FeelFitters better
- Contribute to the systems behind our virtual coaching and mental health support
Coaching and therapy volunteers pass a background check, and licensed roles have their state license and coverage verified, before completing our coach certification and being matched with FeelFitters.
We've grown almost entirely by word of mouth, one volunteer telling a friend what this work is like. We started with a pilot of about a thousand FeelFitters, and we're building toward hundreds of millions worldwide, backed by tens of thousands of coaches and volunteers. Whichever area you choose, the work you do here is work you can watch change lives: in front of you on a trail, across a coaching session in the app, or in the code and data behind it all.
