Volunteering as a tutor for a homeless child is a meaningful way to impact your community. School on Wheels is the only agency in Southern California to provide tutoring and educational mentoring to homeless youth. Apply to work at the Skid Row learning Center to meet other volunteers and make the world a better place!
The Skid Row Learning Center (SRLC) provides group and one on one tutoring Monday through Saturday to the homeless students (grades K-12) living in shelters and hotels in Downtown Los Angeles. Evening tutoring sessions are also available at the Union Rescue Mission where many of our students currently reside. The SRLC sometimes offers enrichment activities for students and their tutors which includes field trips to local points of interest.

Description
Volunteering to tutor children experiencing homelessness with School on Wheels is a one-hour-a-week commitment and no teaching experience is needed. Volunteering with School on Wheels is an opportunity to share something significant with a child and in return gain meaning in your own life. You can make a difference by supporting children who live in local shelters, motels, foster group homes, and vehicles.
Opportunities: We have both online and in-person opportunities in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, and San Diego ( online only ) counties. You can also volunteer at our Learning Center in Downtown LA with staff and other volunteers. Many children go to the Learning Center after school and throughout the summer.
The process to become a volunteer includes a few easy steps: fill out our application, attend a virtual training, provide two references, and complete a background check.
