Whiz Kids makes a difference in kid's lives through tutoring, positive mentoring relationships and spiritual nurture. Whiz Kids is a simple, structured program that works. There are over 40 locations throughout Denver hosted by partner churches and schools; and the kids we work with are great. Students in Whiz Kids have seen reading gains of 5 -- 11%. Volunteers with Whiz Kids make a difference in a kid's life and their own lives are richer because of it. The heart of Whiz Kids is what happens during Club time. Each week, after the tutoring time, kids and students meet together and hear about the Good News of God's love for them. Studies have shown two things: Children who experience poverty and who are not proficient readers are 3 times more likely to drop out of school. In Colorado, youth who drop out, are concentrated in large-district schools in 5 counties including Denver, Jefferson County and Arapahoe (including the city of Aurora). In Denver, only 52% of students are expected to graduate. One volunteer, one student, one year. Help change the future of a child's life. Become a Whiz Kids tutor today!
