School on Wheels is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to tutoring children experiencing homelessness in California. School on Wheels volunteers tutor children between kindergarten and twelfth grade.

History

In 1993, School on Wheels was founded by Agnes Stevens, a former school teacher. Her work began with tutoring homeless children in Santa Monica Park as a response to a rising homeless population. Presently, the organization provides tutoring for students without homes in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties.

Staff

The School on Wheels staff consists of full-time workers and thousands of volunteers. The organization also has an executive board.[1]
