YOU CAN BE A READING MENTOR FOR CHILDREN IN YOUR COMMUNITY

Literacy is essential to successful learning.

Literacy Volunteers of Rensselaer County’s Everybody WINS! Power Lunch program strives to nurture in children a love of reading. As caring adult role models, Everybody Wins! reading mentors make a positive and lasting difference in children’s lives.

The Everybody WINS! program pairs elementary school children with volunteer reading mentors from area businesses and the local community.

Mentors are matched one-to-one with students and spend one lunch break per week at a nearby school reading with their student partners.

Our corporate partners have confirmed that participation in Everybody WINS! boosts employee morale.  It offers a simple yet very meaningful way for businesses to get involved in their community.

Donations from participating companies help support mentor orientation sessions, handbooks, and a part-time site coordinator at each school, ensuring that volunteers and children have a positive experience.
