Volunteers with School on Wheels meet with homeless children and youth for one hour, each week to encourage, motivate, and teach. Homeless children and youth often miss many months of schooling and may quickly fall behind in their education. School on Wheels works to bridge those gaps by providing backpacks, school supplies, scholarships and reaching out to great, local volunteers like you! In Santa Barbara, there is a high need for tutors able to work with Spanish-speaking students. No prior tutoring experience is necessary. We provide training and resources to help you and your student succeed! Please help us make a difference in our community and visit our website at www.schoolonwheels.org to apply.

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.
