About our Program: Everybody Wins! is a literacy mentoring program that strives to build literacy skills and a love of reading in elementary school students. This program pairs kindergarten through third-grade students with corporate and community volunteers to share conversation and read together. These consistent, one-on-one experiences increase a child’s opportunity for success, both academically and in life. Throughout the year, students look forward to spending time with their Reading Buddies and benefit from the encouragement of a caring adult and opportunity to read stories together, while mentors enjoy sharing their love of books and the satisfaction of having a meaningful impact on a young person’s life. Formal evaluations have demonstrated that Everybody Wins! is one of the very few programs to effectively impact low-income students in reading comprehension, motivation and achievement, as well as overall academic performance, classroom behavior, self-confidence and social skills.
