About Whiz
Kids
Whiz
Kids is proactive and preventative
in nature, targeting inner-city schools
and students who are reading below
grade level and who could benefit
most from a one-on-one relationship
with a caring adult. Whiz Kids sites
are churches in each school's community
that donate their facility, provide
tutors and an on-site coordinator.
These urban churches are partnered
with suburban churches to provide
additional tutors and resources. The
tutoring sessions become a means for
building bridges between suburban
and urban churches. Whiz Kids also
partners with the Oklahoma City Public
School District. A teacher from the
local school where the students attend
facilitates each of our Whiz Kids
sites. This teacher is an excellent
resource for our volunteer tutors
and serves as school liaison.
"Whiz
Kids is one of those programs that
will help save the next generation.
Kids who have little positives in
their lives are being given hope fur
success as adults and positive role
models to pattern themselves after.
It is the best program of its kind
I have seen."
