Education is for Everyone: Tutor a Student Experiencing Homelessness in Los Angeles

Ready to Make a Difference? Join School on Wheels as a Volunteer Tutor!

Are you looking for a meaningful way to spend your time and truly make an impact? 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.

Our amazing volunteers meet one-on-one each week with students experiencing homelessness—offering them encouragement, academic support, and a reliable connection.

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 help tailored to their needs—reading, math, life skills (we provide the curriculum!)
• Hope and the belief that they can succeed

▶️School on Wheels provides tutoring online or in-person at a shelter, library or other public space. You select your preference when you apply as a volunteer - please note we have many students who need in-person support!

▶️ We serve all of Los Angeles County from the Valley to Long Beach! If you live in LA County, there is a student waiting for you!

🎉 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.
