Are you looking to make a difference in a child's life? A homeless child needs your help! Homeless families are the fastest-growing segment of the homeless population in California. There are an estimated 300,000 homeless children in the state of California. Due to their transient lifestyles, many of these children miss months of school at a time. Help these kids get back on track by tutoring a student one hour a week. We believe education is key to breaking the cycle of homelessness. Learn more about our organization and how you can help by going to schoolonwheels.org. Tutoring will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life!

Mission Statement
To enhancing educational opportunities for children from kindergarten through twelfth grade who are experiencing homelessness.
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.
