Everybody Wins! Metro Boston

Everybody Wins! Metro Boston (EWMB) is the Boston-based affiliate of Everybody Wins! USA; a national literacy and mentoring nonprofit organization that increases children's opportunities for success in school and in life through one-to-one reading experiences with caring adults. Everybody Wins! signature program, Power Lunch, is a lunchtime reading and mentoring program proven to improve reading skills and attitudes toward reading. Each week, volunteers from businesses and community groups travel to local elementary schools during the lunch hour for one-to-one reading with students, promoting the skills and love of reading through reading aloud, sharing favorite stories, and talking about books. Everybody Wins! Metro Boston was incorporated in 2002 to bring Everybody Wins' signature Power Lunch program to students in the greater Boston area. Today EWMB provides Power Lunch mentors each week for hundreds of children at 16 schools in 8 communities throughout greater Boston—Billerica, Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Framingham, Somerville, and Waltham. Our mission is to reach children while they are young, stimulate their interest in reading and learning, and encourage them to believe that they, too, can be successful.
