Whiz Kids is an after-school tutoring program that is run by volunteers who coordinate tutors and students in a one-on-one setting to facilitate the students' accomplishment of becoming proficient at their grade level in all their subjects. In conjunction with the Denver Public Schools, students are selected by their teachers to be in the program. A DPS teacher is selected to be on site during the tutoring time. All tutors are registered and screened by Whiz Kids, and then are assigned a student. At Crossroads we have three sessions of Whiz Kids. Two are for elementary students and meet on Monday evenings from 6:30–8pm. One session is in Spanish and one is in English. On Thursday our third session is held in English for middle school students. Tutors are able to stay with their students for more than one year, as long as the students stay in the program. Parents sign a contract, understanding the partnership that Crossroads has with Whiz Kids and the Denver Public School which their child attends.
