Intern/Tutor CoordinatorAt — School on Wheels
Based on the mission and operations of School on Wheels, here is a draft for your Academic Internship request. I have tailored these responses to the "Intern/Tutor Coordinator" role indicated in your form. Opportunity Summary School on Wheels is a non-profit dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities for K-12 students experiencing homelessness in Southern California. As an Intern/Tutor Coordinator, you will play a pivotal role in bridging the "digital divide" and educational gaps for these vulnerable students. Your mission is to recruit, train, and support volunteer tutors who provide consistent, one-on-one mentorship and academic assistance. You will work behind the scenes to ensure students in shelters, motels, and vehicles receive the laptops, school supplies, and high-quality tutoring they need to thrive despite the trauma of housing instability.
Trauma-Informed Advocacy: How to apply trauma-informed educational strategies to support students facing extreme stress and housing instability. Program Management: The ability to coordinate volunteer-student matches, track educational progress via assessments, and manage complex logistics within a non-profit framework. Stakeholder Communication: How to effectively communicate and collaborate with diverse groups, including families in crisis, shelter staff, and community partners.
