By creating mentoring relationships that foster a love of reading and language, Everybody Wins! Vermont increases children’s prospects for success and engages a diverse range of volunteers in their community schools.
Through our Power Lunch program, adult volunteers are matched with children at local elementary schools to promote reading for pleasure, to build the children’s self-confidence and enhance their self-esteem, and to serve as caring role models. The pairs meet weekly at lunchtime to share books and develop lasting relationships.
Since opening our first two sites in Barre and Rutland in October of 2000, Everybody Wins! Vermont has grown to become Vermont’s largest mentoring organization. Every year, over 500 Vermont children read with Everybody Wins! mentors.
Everybody Wins! has sites in 19 schools. Each school has a site coordinator. To reach an individual site, please visit our Locations page by clicking here.
Our central office in Montpelier is located at 56 College Street.
Our mailing address is: PO Box 34, Montpelier VT 05601-0034
