Koreatown Needs You: Tutor a Student Experiencing Homelessness
Details
Description
Koreatown, are you ready to make a difference? Join School on Wheels as a Volunteer Tutor!
Our amazing volunteers meet one-on-one each week with students experiencing homelessness—offering them encouragement, academic support, homework help, and a reliable connection.
At School on Wheels, we believe that education is for everyone - and we are here to ensure that our most vulnerable, unhoused students receive the education support they deserve.
▶️School on Wheels provides tutoring online or in-person at a local shelter, library or other public space. We have many students who need in-person support!
Here’s what you’ll bring:
- A friendly, patient attitude and a willingness to listen
- 1-2 hours of time per week (we’ll help you pick a schedule that works)
- A desire to uplift someone who just needs you to show up
Here’s what your student will gain:
- A steady mentor during a time of uncertainty
- Academic & hw help tailored to their needs—reading, math, life skills (we provide the curriculum!)
- Hope and the belief that they can succeed
🎉 Join us and become part of something incredible. No teaching certificate required—just your willingness to show up, support, and cheer someone on. Together we’ll unlock opportunity, build confidence, and open doors.
