关于我们

Everybody Wins! Iowa is a literacy and mentoring organization that is dedicated to increasing children’s success in school through reading and mentoring experiences with caring volunteers. Everybody Wins! Iowa was brought to Iowa in 2002 by Sen. Tom Harkin. During its first year, Everybody Wins! Iowa served 15 children in three schools. Today, Everybody Wins! Iowa serves more than 500 children in 20 schools and community organizations. Power Read is Everybody Wins! Iowa’s signature program. Once a week, volunteer reading mentors travel to nearby elementary schools or community organizations for an hour of one-on-one reading with a student. The program has expanded to 34 sites in Polk, Dallas, Warren, and Marion counties in Central Iowa. To volunteer with us, please visit: https://everybodywinsiowa.org/get-involved/ and click the link to apply online. After a brief background check, potential volunteer mentors will receive an orientation and be matched with a student. There are many opportunities to volunteer for one-time events as well! Follow us on our social media platforms or visit our events calendar: https://everybodywinsiowa.org/events/ for more information. The program’s simple equation—one child, one mentor, one book at a time—produces powerful results.

  • Celebrating the Life of Michael Bond Born on January 13, 1926, Michael Bond brought joy to millions through his creation of the beloved Paddington Bear. From humble beginnings with a small toy bear he rescued on Christmas Eve 1956, Paddington quickly became a cherished character in literature. Michael’s first book, A Bear Called Paddington, was published on October 13, 1958. Since then, over 35 million copies have been sold worldwide, translated into more than 40 languages—even Latin! A gifted storyteller, Michael’s works extended beyond Paddington, creating memorable characters like Olga da Polga and Monsieur Pamplemousse. His talent earned him an OBE in 1997 and a CBE in 2015, recognizing his extraordinary contributions to children’s literature. Michael Bond passed away on June 27, 2017, but his legacy endures, inspiring generations to embrace kindness, curiosity, and, of course, a love for marmalade sandwiches. Enjoy this read aloud of one of Paddington's adventures: https://lnkd.in/esSXjX2s

    Can we count on you to help transform a child’s future with the gift of reading? As the year draws to a close, we reflect on the incredible impact of community support for Everybody Wins! Iowa and the children we serve. Thanks to your generosity, students across Central Iowa are discovering the joy of reading, building confidence, and forging connections with caring mentors. But our work is far from over. In Iowa, only 33% of fourth graders are proficient in reading—a challenge we can overcome together. Your support today can help us start 2025 strong, reaching more children with our life-changing Power Read program. Any donation amount will be so appreciated however, for just $500—$42 per month—you can sponsor one student for an entire year, providing weekly one-on-one reading sessions with a dedicated mentor. Here’s how your donation makes a difference: Students: Gain reading skills, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. Mentors: Build meaningful relationships and inspire young minds. Schools: Receive vital support at no cost, improving literacy without administrative burdens. Community: Becomes stronger when we work together to support our youngest learners. Why Now? With your help, we can kick off National Mentoring Month in January by enrolling more students and mentors in the program. Your year-end gift will ensure more children experience the power of consistent support, encouragement, and connection—one book at a time. Let’s Finish 2024 with impact! Together, we can turn the page to a brighter future. Please donate today and help us create more success stories in the year ahead.
