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!
