Whiz Kids looking for volunteer tutors!

Guest blog by Sandra Kelly


Whiz Kids, a tutoring program run through City Gospel Mission, is looking to start a new site in the Norwood area starting in late January/early February. We need you!! Here’s the important stuff to know:

  1. Students are 3rd or 4th grade kids who are from at-risk homes.
  2. Tutors meet once/wk with their student, from 4:00pm -5:30pm. You must be able to consistently meet with your student.
  3. Materials and curriculum are provided; your job is to read, read, read with the student.
  4. Tutors must go through a background check and fingerprinting at the school.
