One hour. Once a week. A lifetime of difference.

Whiz kids takes a dual approach in helping children: literacy and mentoring.

Research shows that students who can’t read by the 4th grade are 4 times likely to drop out. Research also shows that to build resilience in a child, a caring adult is vital. Whiz Kids strives to work in both of these areas.

Once you learn to read, you read to learn. It is not a lack of intelligence that holds these students back, but rather a lack of support systems and role models. You can change a child’s life by simply sharing your valuable skill of reading with them, and by becoming that support system and role model they need to succeed.

There is a Whiz Kid who needs YOU.
