About us
Founded by Agnes Stevens in 1993, School on Wheels is a nonprofit organization that provides one-on-one tutoring for kids who live in shelters, motels, group foster homes, and on the streets of Southern California. In addition to weekly tutoring and mentoring, every student receives a backpack, school supplies, and uniforms; students get assistance enrolling in school and with locating and filing school records. We do all this with no government funding. We survive through the donations of people like you who believe as we do that every child has potential and every volunteer makes a difference.

SOW’s innovative approach and impactful mission have always stayed with me. I could not be more excited or proud to be rejoining the organization as Chief Operations Officer. I am looking forward to working alongside such inspiring leaders and educators to help enhance educational opportunities for students experiencing homelessness. " Welcome to the team, Richard!
