Retired Volunteer

Do you love to read and value the impact of reading? Join the School on Wheels tutoring and mentoring team to inspire the love of reading in children experiencing homelessness.

Our students have returned to school with major learning losses after the pandemic. Their reading, writing, and comprehension skills are impacted negatively. Help them build their confidence, and self-esteem, and open their eyes and expand their imagination. We have opportunities in

  • Los Angeles County
  • Orange County
  • Riverside County
  • Santa Barbara County
  • San Bernardino County
  • San Diego County
  • Ventura County

All tutoring sessions are either in-person or virtual; reliable internet and video/audio capabilities are required. Tutoring usually happens on weekdays between 3 pm-7 pm. We provide in-depth training and ongoing support to all our tutors.

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.
