The mission of School on Wheels of Massachusetts is to support the academic, social and emotional growth of students impacted by homelessness.
We train volunteers to serve as personal tutors for students (K - high school) living in family shelters and transitional housing. Volunteer mentors help high school and college students prepare for post-secondary education and careers via our Bridge Mentoring Program. All students facing homelessness receive customized "Tools for School," including grade-level backpacks, books and supplies.
Last year we paired more than 250 students in grades K - 12 with a personal tutor, mentored 57 high school and college students and provided more than 6,000 students with customized backpacks and supplies. The need for our services has grown exponentially since the onset of the pandemic, and we rely on volunteers and supporters like you to meet the rising educational needs of children and youth impacted by homelessness.
Educate kids. End Homelessness. One Child at a Time.
