School on Wheels, Inc.
The mission of School on Wheels is to enhance the K-12 educational opportunities for children experiencing homelessness – living in shelters, motels, group foster homes, downtown hotels, vehicles or on the street. Our goal is to shrink the gaps in their learning and help them overcome the statistics that would condemn them to a life of poverty.

LEARN ·2024 Grants ChallengeSTEAM Education for Unhoused Children
School on Wheels brings the message to unhoused children that they are cared about and important, that education can help them escape a life of poverty, and that we are a consistent support system for them at a time of great stress and fear. The LA2050 grant will help us enhance the educational opportunities for 2,000 students in grades K-12 experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County. These are the students whose life trajectories are most at-risk because of their circumstances.
