Description

Are you looking for a fun way to make a difference in your community? Do you like to read with kids? Get hugs, and new drawings for your fridge? Make new friends who share your desire to inspire? Everybody Wins! Iowa is searching for charismatic Power Read Lead (PRL) Volunteers for the 2026-27 school year!

This volunteer role serves as a liaison between school staff, students, and volunteer mentors. PRLs work with the Operations Manager to make sure Power Read programs run smoothly. We are seeking individuals who have:


  • A strong desire to make a difference in our community
  • The ability to work with and coordinate volunteers 
  • Good organizational and project management skills
  • Effective interpersonal skills 
  • Basic computer skills and familiarity with Microsoft Office and Google systems preferred 
  • And the ability to pass all background checks


PRL volunteers will support one school to start, but more can be added depending on your availability. PRLs usually are on-site for about 1-2 hours per week, then send reminders and correspondence as needed. We follow school schedules, which can vary, but hours will fall primarily between 9 AM - 1 PM Monday - Friday. A draft 2026-27 schedule can be found on our website: www.everybodywinsiowa.org.  Please reach out to Stacy Pearce, Operations Manager, at volunteer@everybodywinsiowa.org, for more information or to apply!
