School on Wheels
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.
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.
- Background Check (e.g. fingerprinting/livescan, driving record)
- Computer Literacy
- Must be 18 or older
- Pre-Placement Training
- SAFETY: Students are NOT PERMITTED to take photos or video while on site.
- SUPERVISION: Students may be required to work at night (after 6pm).
- SUPERVISION: Students will be supervised less than 50% of the time or the supervisor will be responsible for overseeing more than 8 people.
Most volunteering opportunities occur when our students are out of schools from the hours of 3pm - 7pm.
