  • Everybody Wins! Iowa: Building Brighter Futures, One Page at a Time
    Nov 5 2024

    In this special episode, we shine a spotlight on Everybody Wins! Iowa, a remarkable nonprofit organization dedicated to improving literacy and building strong relationships between students and volunteer mentors. Through one-on-one reading sessions, Everybody Wins! Iowa is making a lasting difference in the lives of children, especially those from under-resourced backgrounds, fostering confidence and a love for learning.

    We’ll explore how the organization has faced the challenges of the pandemic, which forced reductions in both reach and staff. Yet, thanks to a community of dedicated mentors, Everybody Wins! Iowa continues to enrich students' lives and strengthen Iowa communities. Join us to hear inspiring stories from mentors, learn about the impact of the program, and discover how you can support this cause—whether by volunteering as a reading mentor or donating to help expand their reach.

    Get ready to be inspired by the power of mentorship and literacy in action—because when you read with a child, Everybody Wins!
