| How you help | If you're looking to have amazing impact on some of the most vulnerable children in our city, we have plenty of fun ways for you to get involved as a volunteer. You can help at our sites, in our office or on some special projects! Over the past 19 years, School on Wheels has trained nearly 5,970 community volunteers as tutors to help our staff provide 98,140 tutoring & academic support sessions to 6,486 children impacted by homelessness. Without intervention, students impacted by homelessness are eight to nine times more likely to repeat a grade, but School on Wheels students who attend tutoring for the duration of the school year have a grade promotion rate of 98%! Our students are successful because we work with the teachers and parents of the students enrolled in our programs to develop personal learning plans and set educational goals to help parents become the best advocates for their child’s education. |
