Homeless children face great challenges in school due to their transient and uncertain circumstances. Every week, thousands of your Southern California neighbors work as volunteer tutors to give hope, educational assistance and support to these children who live all around us. As a School on Wheels volunteer, you will meet with a homeless child for an hour each week to help with homework and other school subject. No experience is necessary--we provide the training. Please visit our website at www.schoolonwheels.org to get more information and to begin the application process. It will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life!

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.
