Everybody Wins Atlanta

In 1997, Everybody Wins! Atlanta was founded, and the students of Hope-Hill Elementary School in the Old Fourth Ward enjoyed their first Power Lunch.  For 25 years, Everybody Wins! Atlanta has devoted itself to improving children's literacy and developing the reading skills of students in low-income elementary schools through shared reading experiences.  Today Everybody Wins! Atlanta operates Power Lunch in 10 elementary schools and StoryTime in six elementary schools.  As of the end of the 2021 - 22 school year, Everybody Wins! Atlanta has served more than 10,000 Metro Atlanta students with the Power Lunch program and over 35,000 Metro Atlanta students with the StoryTime program.

Atlanta’s performing arts literacy program featuring professional and celebrity storytellers to increase early literacy, challenge imaginative thought and inspire “reading for pleasure” among children
