One of the best things about creating an annual report is having the chance to look back over an entire year and seeing the progress we’ve made. I was reminded

of this as I read feedback from one of our mentors, who shared: “He HATED reading at the beginning of the year. No big deal. We played games, puzzles, did a lot of art. I read to him as he ate lunch, nothing more. Time passed, he began to trust me as a grown-up, and we started reading together.”

This report is a glimpse of our progress and activities in 2011-12. It takes many hours and many supporters to make our work possible. We extend our deep gratitude to our volunteer mentors, the principals and teachers, school coordinators, donors and numerous other partners who give so generously of their time and resources in support of our mission.

In our 12th school year of reading mentoring in Vermont, our focus was on strengthening our collaborations so that we could serve more children better. Here are a few highlights:

• We teamed up with United Way of Addison County to create new mentoring programs in rural schools in their region. Salisbury and Shoreham are now open, with more to come!

• We worked with some of our fellow mentoring programs around the state—Mentor Connector in Rutland County, JUMP in St. Johnsbury, and Girls/Boyz First in Montpelier—to encourage and enable mentoring pairs to stay together as long as possible.

looking Back, looking Forward: Our Year in review

Executive Director and Mentor

• With the guidance of the Stern Center for Language and Literacy, we created a literacy toolbox to give our mentors tools and techniques to engage their mentees in reading.

• New partners, such as Waitsfi eld Telecom and Ben and Jerry’s Community Action Teams, strengthened our financial support for local programs in their respective backyards.

• Thanks to the vision of Rutland mentors Stanley Fishkin and Nancy Marshall, we began an EW! VT endowment fund at the Vermont Community Foundation, an important step for our long-term fi nancial sustainability.

When all is said and done, it is the one-to-one relationships that fuel Everybody Wins! Vermont. It’s the shy 2nd grader who just can’t wait for his power lunch every week. Or the very busy lawyer whose mentoring session leaves her feeling refreshed and engaged in her community. It’s the teacher who reports great improvements in her students’ enthusiasm for and ability to discuss books. And it’s the father who tells us that his 4th grade child, who usually dreads going to school, can’t wait to get there on EW! days.

One lunch period and one book at a time, we are making a difference in Vermont. We’re looking forward to another great year in 2012-13!
