Everybody Wins DC

Our school year 2026-27 Program Coordinators have completed their training and are ready to kick off another year as the faces of Power Readers as they facilitate the program across our partner schools! Special thank you to PwC for hosting this year’s training!

Tuesday, EWDC joined @Bloomberg for their Service Week! Volunteers made 100+ bookmarks and notes of encouragement for our students — just in time for our back to school book distributions!

Thank you to Team Bloomberg for the many ways you support our students!

Power Readers session schedules are now live for the 2026-27 school year!

Pick your preferred school, date, & time and sign up as a mentor at bit.ly/EWDC-Mentoring to help a student discover the joy of reading! 📖📚✨

Thank you to the Washington Nationals and Southwest Bid for inviting us to your Discover Summer event at the Southwest Library last week!

We distributed 180 books and spread the word about our upcoming Power Readers launch at Amidon Bowen Elementary!

Last year, only 31.2% of 3rd graders in DC were reading at a proficient level.

At EWDC, we’re working to change this number by giving kids what they need to succeed: support, encouragement, and reading joy. Help by signing up as a Power Readers mentor!
