Thousands of children go to sleep homeless every night in Southern California. They often lack the academic support needed to succeed in school, enabling them to break the cycle of homelessness. That’s where you come in!
No experience necessary - we provide training. Just a love of learning is required. Simply visit our website: http://www.schoolonwheels.org and complete a volunteer application. It will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life! Tutors are especially needed in Downtown LA at our Skid Row Learning Center. Anybody age 12 & up can tutor. Volunteers ages 12-17 must tutor with a parent or legal guardian until they turn 18.

Mission Statement

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.
