Whiz
Kids mission is to help improve the lives of disadvantaged kids through academic tutoring, positive mentoring relationships and spiritual nurture. Whiz Kids tutors are instrumental in providing extra literacy and math help to struggling
students. We pair kids with trained, caring volunteers who tutor and mentor
in the spirit of Christ.
The majority of our tutoring takes place
within the Denver Metro area, but we also have tutoring locations in Aurora,
Jefferson County, Littleton, and the Western Slope! Whiz Kids sites are communities of multiple pairs of volunteers
and students. The relationships
improve self-esteem, foster a sense of accomplishment, and improve reading scores.
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
