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.
The Keith Village Digital Learning Center (KVDLC) combines digital learning with in-person group tutoring and provides a safe learning space for homeless students (K-12), Monday through Thursday from 3:30 to 5:00 PM (PST). With access to computers, coding, the Internet, virtual reality and more, homeless students are able to learn and develop critical 21st Century skills.

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.
