The volunteer tutor is the “heart” of School on Wheels. Children have a basic desire to learn, but the stress of moving from place to place makes it difficult for homeless children to stay focused and achieve good grades.

Children who are homeless miss many days of school and have huge obstacles to overcome in regards to their education. Our volunteer tutors provide stability and consistency each week by helping students with their homework, school projects and study skills.

School on Wheels is currently helping:
  • The Evelyn House in Stoughton
  • The David Jon Louison Family Center in Brockton
  • The Conway House in Middleboro
  • Family Life Transition Center in Brockton
  • The Inn Transition and The Inn Between in Peabody
  • Help for Abused Women and Children (HAWC) in Salem
Each tutor strives to build the child’s confidence and help them understand the importance of their education. School on Wheels is committed to helping children achieve the highest education possible while living in transitional housing.

Volunteers must be 18 years old and hold a high school diploma. Please download the following files for more information*:
