School on Wheels provides academic tutoring to children experiencing homelessness in SoCal

Since 1993, the mission of School on Wheels has never wavered: to enhance educational opportunities for children who are experiencing homelessness from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Our goal is to shrink the gaps in their learning and provide them with the highest level of education possible. Our program serves as a consistent support system for our students during a time of great stress and fear.

It's official: We're part of Purpose, Produced. 🎬

Every student deserves the chance to keep learning, no matter their circumstances. We've teamed up with Cylndr through SixDegrees.org and Advertising Week to tell that story, and spotlight the students who show up with determination every day.

More to come.

October 8th is a national day of giving through Donor-Advised Funds. These funds go directly towards programs and services providing free tutoring, resources, mentors, technology, and more to children experiencing homelessness throughout Southern California.

We hope you'll consider recommending a grant to School on Wheels this DAF day. Together we can make a difference 💜

We were so grateful to participate in this year's Step Forward Day!

🎒 The volunteers came together to stuff over 100 bags with supplies for students! 🎒

Each bag filled with supplies is given to a child experiencing homelessness during the school year. No student should be worried about having enough supplies just because of their circumstances. Education is for everyone 💛

Thank you for making a difference.
