HISTORY AND MISSION
Whiz Kids
began in 1990, convening pastors and business people throughout the
Denver
Metro area to begin a process of partnering suburban churches in urban
outreach. A year later, this partnership led to a focus on one-on-one
tutoring with elementary-age children. The result was a program called
"Wise Guys," with three locations and 60 kids.
The name
was changed to Whiz Kids Tutoring and today, Whiz Kids is a non-profit
organization with over 35 sites that have the capacity to reach over
800 elementary-age kids. Whiz Kids has expanded our tutoring to middle
schools with Whiz Kids2. Our commitment, like our program,
is experiencing strength and growth.
