Whiz Kids

Amy Bruce is the Executive Director of Whiz Kids, an after-school literacy tutoring and faith-based mentoring program serving over 565 elementary students with the support of more than 975 dedicated volunteers. Whiz Kids has been part of OKC since 1996 and Amy first joined the program in 2012 as a site coordinator for her home church and officially became part of the management staff in 2016. Throughout her tenure, she has held various roles, each deepening her passion for the program’s mission. A firm believer in the transformative power of mentoring, she is committed to ensuring that every child has a champion—because she knows it can change the world.
Before Whiz Kids, Amy spent 16 years in higher education, helping students and their families navigate college preparation and planning. She is married to Cory, an engineer at Tinker AFB, and together they have three children. Outside of Whiz Kids, you’ll often find her cheering on her kids at soccer and volleyball games or capturing moments behind the camera as a hobby photographer.
