Welcome to School on Wheels

Did you know that the average age of a homeless person in Indianapolis is 9 years old? That’s right. 9 years old.

Children make up 30% of the homeless population in Indianapolis. Homeless children and families live in a state of crisis and transition. Although homeless children attend school, their homelessness is often preventing them from obtaining a sound education. School on Wheels was founded to address the educational needs of homeless children.

The mission of School on Wheels is the enhancement and enrichment of educational opportunities for homeless children, from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. Our goal is to shrink the gaps in the education of these children and assist them with the highest quality education possible.

School on Wheels provides tutoring services to homeless children through the use of community volunteers at the following locations: Coburn Place Safe Haven, Dayspring Center, Interfaith Hospitality Network, Holy Family Shelter, Wellspring Cottage, Wheeler Mission Care Center, Salvation Army, Indianapolis Public School #14, and Holy Cross Catholic School.

Founded in September 2001, School on Wheels Corp. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.

School on Wheels is the first and only agency in Indianapolis to provide one-on-one tutoring and educational mentoring to homeless children.
