Tutoring

Are you passionate about education and want to serve as a role model? Become a volunteer tutor today and support a child experiencing homelessness. We believe that education is key to breaking the cycle of homelessness. Our goal is to shrink the gaps in our students’ learning and provide them with the highest level of education possible. Tutoring serves as a consistent support system for our students during a time of great stress and fear. We currently have an urgent need for Spanish-speaking volunteers in Echo Park and surrounding cities.

Sign up today to help make an impact in a child's life at https://schoolonwheels.org/apply-to-be-a-volunteer/

Volunteers are asked to commit 1 hour a week for a year; tutoring usually happens on weekdays between 3 pm-7pm. We provide in-depth training and ongoing support to all our tutors.

It will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life!

Mission Statement

to enhance educational opportunities for children who are experiencing homelessness from kindergarten through twelfth grade, mainly by volunteer 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.
