Make a Difference

Every week, hundreds of School on Wheels’ volunteer tutors give hope, educational assistance and support to the thousands of homeless children living in Southern California.

We provide one-on-one tutoring for homeless kids who live in shelters, motels, group foster homes and on the streets. In addition to weekly tutoring and mentoring, every student receives a backpack, school supplies, and uniforms; students get assistance enrolling in school and with locating and filing school records; and each student receives a toll-free phone number for around-the-clock School on Wheels’ support.

We do all this with no government funding. We survive through the donations of people like you who believe as we do that every child has potential and every volunteer makes a difference.

“It's the job of every child in America to go to school and learn. The same is true for the most forgotten children in our society, the homeless child. School on Wheels welcomes everyone to lay down differences and come together to bring hope to thousands of homeless students - from kindergarten to grade twelve - one by one. Hope is strong; hope is optimism; hope is self-reliant.”
