Becoming a reading mentor with Everybody Wins! Iowa is one of the simplest ways to make a lasting difference in a child’s life. Just one hour a week during the school year can help a student build confidence, improve their reading skills, and discover the joy of books. We provide the training, match you with a student, and supply the reading materials—you simply bring your time and encouragement.

Our mentors come from all walks of life, and no teaching experience is required—just a willingness to listen, read, and build a positive connection. Whether you join us on your lunch break, after work, or as part of your community service, you’ll be helping a child reach their potential.
