Vision

Stride for Stride has always been more than just running. Crossing the finish line gives people hope, empowerment, a sense of belonging, and pure joy. Stride for Stride is a welcoming community for immigrants to feel safe and welcome with other individuals going through the same challenges and struggles. And, now Stride for Stride gives our team the mental health support they need, if and when they need it.

Goals

1. 1.Stride for Stride currently sponsors 500 runners from 27 different countries to improve their lives via running. Our immediate goal is to expand our team and help more immigrant and low-income runners feel the joy and empowerment of crossing the finish line.
2. 2.In 2025, Stride for Stride launched Mental Health in Stride to provide free mental health therapy to anyone on the team who needs it. Mental health has always been a major health issue for our team and 2025 has been extremely stressful for our immigrant runners. Our goal is to make Mental Health in Stride a lasting service from Stride for Stride.
