We pair kids with caring adult volunteers who tutor and mentor them in
the spirit of Christ. Whiz
Kids is instrumental in providing extra literacy and math help to struggling
students. The majority of our tutoring takes place
within the Denver Metro area, but we also have tutoring locations in Aurora,
Jefferson County and Littleton. Whiz Kids coordinates these one-on-one tutoring sessions for multiple pairs of volunteers
and students at host sites - typically in urban churches. These relationships
improve self-esteem
and foster a sense of accomplishment among the students we serve. Whiz
Kids has seen improved reading scores through the tutor/student relationship.
Tutoring not only makes a difference, it's also fun!

"I
find it encouraging that
hundreds of Denver citizens
are involved in this faith-
based effort to improve literacy
rates...Whiz Kids has also
been selected by my office to
be part of the Youth Mentoring
Collaborative, a partnership
of 9 agencies whose aim is
to improve the outcome of at-
risk homeless youth in
Denver."
- Mayor John Hickenlooper
