School on Wheels is looking for volunteers to tutor and mentor homeless children and youth for one hour a week remotely online. The wonderful kids we serve are currently living in shelters, motels, hotels and in the streets. Volunteer tutors work with students over video chat and must commit one hour, once per week, for one year. No previous tutoring or teaching experience is required, just a willingness to make a real and lasting difference in a young person's life by helping them academically. Tutoring takes place over video chat, so you must have access to reliable internet and video/audio chat.
We have a particular need for tutors who can work with high school students.
To apply, visit this link - https://schoolonwheels.org/volunteer/application/ - watch the introductory video, and then scroll down and click the "online tutoring program" application link. 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.
