Back on My Feet is a national nonprofit that supports individuals experiencing homelessness, poverty, or addiction by building community, stability, and encouragement through early‑morning walk/run groups. Volunteers walk or run alongside residents three mornings per week, offering connection, motivation, and accountability as they work toward employment and housing goals. Come once to try it out or join regularly; every step makes a difference.
This is a simple, meaningful way to make an impact — no running experience required. Volunteers can join at any of our three Indianapolis locations (Fountain Square, Mass Ave, or Mapleton‑Fall Creek).

Peace Learning Center: Better Way Business Breakfast
2026-09-22 07:30 - 10:00 | Gainbridge Fieldhouse – Indianapolis, IN, 125 S Pennsylvania St., IN, United States
🕊️ Peace Learning Center: Better Way Business Breakfast, Tues Sept 22nd 8:15-9:45am, Gainbridge Fieldhouse
Not by labeling kids as good or bad. Not by pushing them out. By helping them learn to listen, repair relationships, and lead with empathy.
Peace Learning Center works with students, educators, and families to keep everyday conflict from becoming lasting harm. It starts in schools, spreads through neighborhoods, and reaches into the future, as these young people become our next generation of leaders.
This is what you make possible and what you can help grow.
The second annual Better Way Business Breakfast is a critical fundraiser for PLC. At last years’s event, Indianapolis business and community leaders gathered at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to raise $75,000 that strengthened our work with youth and schools.
This year guests will hear powerful stories from students, educators, and community partners about a better way to address youth violence by creating opportunities to listen, repair relationships, and lead with empathy. We invite you to be part of the solution our city needs!
Volunteers will help by greeting guests and helping them find their assigned table. We will provide sheets and a large seating chart on a board. They will also be present to direct guests to bathrooms and PLC staff as needed. They will help elevate the customer service experience to allow our staff to be table hosts. They will also be able to eat with our guests if they choose to.
To volunteer, contact Meghan Mustin. mmustin@peacelearningcenter.org

Gus Macker basketball tournament benefiting IU cancer research
2026-10-02 - 2026-10-04 | Pacers Athletic Center, 200 East 186th Street, Westfield, IN, 46074, United States
In Indiana, basketball brings us together. This time, it helps beat cancer.
The IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center is teaming up with Gus Macker to launch a brand-new community tradition: a 3-on-3 basketball tournament benefiting cancer research at IU.
On Oct. 3-4, join survivors, supporters, researchers, clinicians, staff, and basketball fans from across the Midwest at the Pacers Athletic Center in Westfield, Ind., to turn teamwork into breakthroughs against cancer.
From the lab to the clinic to the court, we are changing the game against cancer every day. Now, we’re inviting the community to join us in a whole new way — with sneakers on the gym floor, fans in the stands, and a shared commitment to advancing lifechanging research.
Whether you form a team, fundraise with friends, volunteer, sponsor the event, or cheer from the sidelines, every play helps fuel the future of cancer research at IU.
Let’s show the state that when it comes to beating cancer, IU has the best home-court advantage in the world.
Volunteer: It takes more than players to make this tournament a success; it takes a courtside crew of volunteers. From setup to registration to scorekeeping, more than 100 volunteers will bring this exciting new IU tradition to life. Volunteers must be 18+ and will receive a complimentary shirt. Shifts range from 4-6 hours.
