ORGANIZATION: School on Wheels

Retired Volunteer

Are you passionate about education and want to serve as a role model? Children experiencing homelessness need extra time and attention to succeed in school. We train and match our volunteers with students in their community, who then meet weekly to focus on learning. You can specify to work one-on-one with an elementary, middle, or high school student in person or meet your student virtually!

Change a life by applying at https://schoolonwheels.org/apply-to-be-a-volunteer/

Volunteers are asked to commit a minimum of 1 hour a week for a year. Tutoring usually happens on weekdays between 3 pm-7 pm. Training is provided.
