Everybody Wins!

Everybody Wins is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing elementary students' chances for success in school and in life. Everybody Wins accomplishes this goal by pairing students in one-to-one relationships with reading mentors, volunteers who spend one lunch hour every week or every other week reading and talking with their students. Students and volunteers share good books, good conversations, and good times.
When volunteers and students read together, Everybody Wins! Students Win!
They learn that reading is fun, and consequently, become excited about books and reading.
Through their volunteers, they are exposed to new places and ideas, and, consequently, learn to think more creatively.
Their listening and vocabulary skills improve. They become more articulate and insightful.
They become more self-confident because they know that their volunteers make time for them and enjoy reading with them.
Volunteers Win!
