Tutoring The Heartbeat of Our Program

School on Wheels trains community volunteers who are each matched with a student in pre-K through grade 12 living at one of our program sites. To provide consistency, the tutor meets with the same child each week to complete homework, work on school projects and help build up their self esteem. The tutor serves as a mentor and positive adult role model for their student to help them realize their full potential in the classroom and beyond. Each tutor is asked to commit to one hour per week for a minimum of 3 months.

How to become a volunteer tutor

• Schedule a tutor orientation training.
• Fill out tutor paperwork and bring to training.
• Once trained, you will be matched with a student at one of our program locations during our supervised tutoring hours.
• Attend one tutor workshop per year.

School on Wheels staff will be there to support you every step of the way. Contact Program Director Joanna Channell with any questions.
