Mission Statement:
To increase children’s success in school through reading and mentoring experiences with caring volunteers.
Philosophy/Belief Statement:
Everybody Wins! is a privately funded, national nonprofit organization that was founded in 1991 and started in Iowa in 2002. Its mission is to increase children's success in school and life through reading experiences with caring volunteers. Our signature program, Power Lunch, matches volunteers with local elementary school students for one lunch hour every week. During these fun weekly interactions, students and volunteers promote the love of reading by reading aloud, sharing favorite stories, talking about books, building confidence, and increasing self-esteem.
Program History:
Founded in 1991 by Arthur and Phyllis Tannenbaum, EVERYBODY WINS! began as five volunteers reading on their lunch hours in one Manhattan school. Since then, it has grown into a national public-private partnership that provides structured one-on-one mentoring to low-income youth. Taking root in 16 states and Washington, DC, EVERYBODY WINS! has evolved from informal read-aloud sessions to four distinct literacy and mentoring programs: Power Lunch, Readers Are Leaders, Story Time and EW! Book Clubs.
