About 

Everybody Wins DC

Everybody Wins DC helps children thrive by building connections through reading.

The idea behind our mission is simple and straightforward: by giving a child the opportunity to share a joyful reading experience with someone who cares, we can change that child’s life for the better. But it isn’t just the children who benefit.

When we all connect over books, everybody’s lives get better – everybody wins!

Our History

In 1995, a bipartisan group of Senators and Senate staff – led by Senator James Jefforts (R-VT) and Senator Paul Simon (D-IL) began volunteering their time to read with elementary school students at a public elementary school just steps from the Capitol Building.

Modeled after a similar effort in New York City, Senators Jeffords and Simon believed that this quality time reading together would help children develop critical skills needed to support academic and social growth.

Based on the success of those early reading sessions, the program grew into what is now Everybody Wins DC, a non-profit serving children and families across the region through shared reading.
