My tutor helped me so much. She helped me with Math, Chemistry, getting ready for my SAT, pretty much anything I needed help with. It was always nice to see her. I looked forward to my sessions with her. My dream job is to become a graphic designer and work in the marketing field. I will be attending Orange Coast Community College in the fall and would like to transfer to Redlands University after I complete my general ed.
Help and Encourage a Student Experiencing Homelessness to Learn and Dream
“The more money we have, the more volunteers we can recruit, and the more kids we can help,” says Sinéad Chilton, chief development and marketing officer.
When funding increases, School on Wheels can increase the range and depth of what it can offer, including age-specific programs.
“With elementary students, we focus on reading and literacy,” says Chilton. “For middle school, we focus on academics. For high school, we focus on opportunities for after school.”
Plus, the organization offers scholarships for all its students, for things like ballet lessons or sports.
Every dollar donated means an unhoused student gets a chance to succeed.
