With just over a week left in 2022, the entire EWDC team is working hard to make sure we’re ready for some pretty exciting program expansions planned for next year. But we need your help to make it happen.

Our end-of-year campaign is raising money to connect more kids with mentors, read-alouds, and free books. Why? Because this is how we help them reach their potential. Our students build literacy skills, develop social-emotional competencies, and fall in love with books and learning - all building blocks for future success.

Can you help? Your end-of-year gift will give a child the tools they need to thrive through reading.

EWDC helps kids build the foundation they need to support future success. Specifically, our work with elementary school students to develop literacy and social-emotional skills helps them thrive in middle school, high school, and beyond.

Meet Mia, an amazing Power Readers alum who shows us just why our work is so important.

You can help more students like Mia succeed by joining our end-of year campaign. Every dollar raised helps EWDC expand programs and reach more communities. Make your gift today!

Last program year, EWDC helped more than 7,000 kids develop literacy skills, build social-emotional competencies, and fall in love with reading and learning.

How did we do all that? Because people like you invested in our students and their futures. Thank you.

This year, with the pandemic having had a disastrous impact on classroom learning, we’re doing even more to help kids thrive through reading. And we need your help.

By making a year-end gift to EWDC, you will connect more kids to mentors, create more read-aloud opportunities, and put more free books into children’s hands. Please help our kids succeed tomorrow by making a gift today.

We did it! Not only did we hit our Giving Tuesday goal, we beat it. That means we can immediately get to work matching our waitlist students with the mentors they want and deserve.

But it isn’t just our donors making a positive impact. EWDC partners have stepped up this giving season to give their time to our kids. Groups like DC Rotary Club, Junior League of Washington and the Special Competitive Studies Project helped us prepare diverse books for distribution so kids have new, exciting, and representative stories to read and cherish.

Want to help? Drop a line below and we can get you started. Just one hour of service can help a child thrive through reading.

Power Readers is more than just one-on-one reading support. It’s a safe space where caring mentors help kids feel supported, encouraged, and loved.

This combination of literacy and social-emotional learning is what makes Power Readers so special - and it’s why we have 50 kids on our waitlist who want to join. That’s why this Giving Tuesday we’re raising $10,000 to expand the program and give these kids the support they want and deserve.

Can you help us clear the waitlist? We’re halfway to our Giving Tuesday goal. You can close the gap by making your gift today!

🚨 Expansion Alert! 🚨

For 25 years, Power Readers was a school-based mentoring program with kids and volunteers reading during recess. During the pandemic, EWDC launched direct enrollment for families to join virtual sessions from home. Today, we added a 3rd option:

For the first time, in-person Power Readers is available to kids outside of school! Yesterday we hosted our first Power Readers session for children living at Plaza West. This amazing community of grandparents raising their grandkids had already been part of The Book Project and StoryTime and we’re so excited to now offer one-on-one mentoring as well.

It’s going to be a great year of reading!

Last year, Evan and Jim (CTIA) built their reading relationship through virtual Power Readers sessions. This year? They get to have lunch and read together, side-by-side!

Looking for a meaningful way to make a difference in a child’s life? Give one hour a week this school year to read with an EWDC student. In addition to our in-person sessions, we have virtual options available in our after school program. Great for individual volunteers or as part of an organization’s community service commitment. Plus, you get to meet amazing kids like Evan!

For SY21-22, one of our last StoryTime events brought Kevin Bacon and SixDegrees.org (virtually) to students at Marie Reed Elementary School. This school year, we kicked things off (in-person!) with Attorney General Karl A. Racine at Savoy Elementary School.

Even better? Both chose to share books about the late Congressman John Lewis and his impact on the world. Thank you both for the incredible support. It’s going to be an amazing year of books and reading!

Next week, EWDC will do something we haven’t done in 2.5 years…we’re headed back to school!

Since March 2020, our Power Readers mentors have been reading with their students through a virtual platform. While we still saw the same positive outcomes on literacy and social emotional development, we definitely missed sharing books, side-by-side. That’s why we’re so excited to relaunch some of our in-person mentoring sessions while we continue to grow our virtual presence.

This amazing moment wouldn’t have been possible but for our incredible volunteers, supporters, and friends. Thank you! Also, a special shout out to the organizations that have employees in our first group of mentors: EAB, CTIA, FHI 360, American Chemistry, and more!

Just one week ago, EWDC was joined by 120+ friends and supporters for the 2022 CoBank Ag Open. It was a great day on the course, all to support the EWDC programs that bring reading activities to communities across the DC region.

While everybody that played is a winner in our book, a special shout out to S-3 Group for taking home the top prize. Can't wait to do it all again in 2023!

It’s a beautiful day for the CoBank Ag Open!

Annual events help Everybody Wins DC bring reading programs to students and schools across the region. And the Ag Open is one of our favorites. For years, the Ag community has been by our side, helping kids thrive through reading. We are forever grateful. Thank you! (Plenty more pics to come…)

It was such a busy week at Everybody Wins DC! Book distributions, Back to School nights, Power Readers info sessions, and more. A highlight? Spending time with Kiwanis Club of Washington, D.C. writing notes of encouragement to young readers across DC. Just one hour of service can have a lifelong impact on our kids. Thank you for the support!

For almost 30 years, EWDC has helped children build the literacy and social-emotional skills needed to thrive in the classroom and in life. And for all those years, it’s been partners like EAB who make it possible.

Thank you to our incredible EAB volunteers who give their time and energy to support kids through reading. Plus, we love the mascot!

Did you know that today is National Read a Book Day? Did you also know that less than 30% of all children's books are centered on diverse or marginalized characters?

At EWDC, we want all readers to have the chance to see themselves - and their dreams - on the pages of their books. That's why we give away thousands of diverse books each year. But we can't do this work without people like you.

By donating to EWDC, you can put a representative book directly into children's hands. Click below to support this year's Back to School campaign and give a child the gift of reading today.

Yesterday, EWDC students across the region headed back to classrooms to kick off the 2022-23 school year. Today, the EWDC team is prepping books for these kids to enjoy during Power Readers as we return to in-person mentoring after more than 2 years away. We’re also getting our virtual platform ready to continue the remote sessions that worked well for so many families and mentors alike. In other words, we have volunteer opportunities that fit all schedules. Ready to help a child thrive through reading? Drop a comment below and we’ll get you started!

For almost 30 years, Everybody Wins DC has helped children across the DC region reach their potential through reading. But this work is only possible because of the amazing network of EWDC partners who give their time and energy to our students. And EAB is one of the best.

Not only do they serve as mentors, host book drives, and donate literacy supplies, last week the EAB team showed up in force to help us tell our story so EWDC can reach more students in SY22-23 and beyond. Check out this behind-the-scenes pic! Can't wait to share the final product. It's going to be amazing!

“Now is the Time to Dream Big…”

As a service event in observation of Juneteenth, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati made a special donation to support Savoy Elementary School’s library — students starting in the fall will have access to a fully stocked library, filled with all new children’s titles.

In addition, before parting for summer, the WSGR team donated books to help Savoy students get a jumpstart on their summer reading. We’re so excited to hear about the stories they enjoyed.

It's been one year since our partnership with Little Free Library began. Here's a quick snapshot of our accomplishments:
- 21 book-sharing boxes in historically underrepresented communities
- 4,800 free books placed in book-sharing boxes
- 93% books placed in book-sharing boxes were diverse
- 83 Little Free Library re-stocking distributions

And the best part is... we're just getting started.
