Organization Description

Since 1993, the mission of School on Wheels has never wavered: to enhance educational opportunities for children who are experiencing homelessness from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Our goal is to shrink the gaps in their learning and provide them with the highest level of education possible. Our program serves as a consistent support system for our students during a time of great stress and fear.

Program Information

Volunteer tutoring is the cornerstone of our program. Our volunteers meet with their students every week to provide positive mentorship and educational assistance.

Health & Safety

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all of our services and volunteer work will be done through online meetings with our students (as of March 2022). While this is not indefinite, we are carefully taking precautions to ensure the safety of all of our volunteers and students and their families.
Additional requirements and/or considerations
  • Background Check (e.g. fingerprinting/livescan, driving record)
