Everybody Wins! Metro Boston 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.
