Whiz Kids Volunteers

CityCURE's Whiz Kids equips the local church to serve at-risk children through one-to-one, literacy-based tutoring. Currently, there are 25 Whiz Kids tutoring sites in partnership with 35 schools serving over 700 children throughout the Greater Cincinnati area. There are tutoring sites from the urban core neighborhoods of Over-the-Rhine, Walnut Hills and Price Hill to the I-275 loop communities of West Chester, Milford and Florence, Kentucky. See a map of the Whiz Kids locations below.

Are you interested in becoming a volunteer for CityCURE's Whiz Kids? Here are a few easy steps to get you started:

  • Review the Whiz Kids Volunteer Opportunities below.
  • All volunteers must successfully complete a thorough screening process consisting of an application, reference check, criminal background check, and an interview with the program supervisor. First time and returning Whiz Kids volunteers should complete a Whiz Kids Volunteer Application Packet.
  • CityCURE's volunteer coordinator will contact you to discuss next steps.
  • Review CityCURE's Youth Protection Guidelines and Policies.
