Everybody Wins! Iowa is a non-profit organization focused on literacy and mentoring, aiming to boost students’ academic success through regular reading sessions with volunteer mentors. Its signature program, Power Read, sends volunteers to elementary schools and community locations for weekly, one-on-one reading time, providing structure and consistent engagement that supports individual students’ literacy development. The organization operates across central Iowa, with a presence in multiple counties and sites, reflecting a model that connects volunteers, children, and schools in a coordinated effort to improve reading outcomes. Based in Des Moines, Iowa, the group traces its roots to 2002 when it was introduced to the state, and it has since expanded to serve hundreds of children through partnerships with schools and community organizations. The target beneficiaries are school-age children who gain access to mentoring and reading experiences via a network of caring volunteers. Recent activity includes participation in community events, reinforcing its ongoing outreach and engagement within the region.
