Whiz Kids is working to reduce the opportunity gap for students through one-on-one literacy tutoring and mentoring. We help students learn to read, so they can read to learn.

For over 28 years, our program has focused on serving the whole child: academically, emotionally, spiritually and physically.

We are a volunteer tutoring and mentoring program that cares for students primarily in 1st through 5th grade, by providing a space for them to be known, loved and nurtured, just as they are. Whiz Kids is caring for students who are reading below grade level, navigating inequitable systems and circumstances, and could benefit most from a mentor relationship with a compassionate adult. During the 2023-2024 school year, we saw 88% of Whiz Kids increase their reading scores.
