Everybody Wins! DC offers many opportunities to become a mentor to an underserved child through our Power Lunch programs. Power Lunch is a reading and mentoring program based in Title I public elementary schools in the Washington Metro Area. A Reading Mentor is matched with an elementary school student who has expressed interest in Power Lunch. The Reading Mentor selects a day on which they meet weekly at the student’s school during the student’s lunch and recess hour. The program is flexible; we’re happy to occasionally reschedule your reading day if necessary. Onsite School Coordinators supervise the reading hour and offer any needed support. Books are provided. Being a mentor can be one of the most satisfying and rewarding experiences you'll ever have. With just one hour a week, you can make a positive difference in the life of a child.
