Everybody Wins! Vermont: making it better for children

Children who love to read do better academically, stay in school longer, and have a better chance at a good life when they grow up.

Everybody Wins! Vermont matches community volunteers one-on-one with schoolchildren to read once a week at school. In the years of the COVID pandemic, children have read with their mentors in all sorts of ways: remotely, with masks, even outdoors! Parents called this safe, caring relationship built around language and books "a gift in a dark time."
