Be the Difference in a Child’s Life with Whiz Kids
Whiz Kids is more than just a tutoring program — it's a ministry of hope, purpose, and transformation. For over 28 years, we've been working to close the opportunity gap for students through one-on-one mentorship and literacy support. We help students learn to read so they can read to learn.
As a Christ-centered program, we’re committed to serving the whole child — academically, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Each week, volunteers like you step into the lives of 1st through 5th-grade students, many of whom are reading below grade level and facing challenging circumstances. These kids don’t just need help with reading — they need to be seen, known, and loved.
Whiz Kids creates a space where students are nurtured just as they are, and where faithful adults can make a lasting impact through mentoring. And it works: during the 2024–2025 school year, students in Whiz Kids saw their reading scores improve by an average of 88%.
