Hello! Everybody Wins DC (EWDC) is a non-profit organization that is committed to serving elementary students in the DC area. Our goal is to help children build the literacy and social-emotional skills needed to thrive in the classroom and in life. One way we do this is through our Power Readers program, where we facilitate weekly one-on-one mentoring sessions between our students and caring members of the community. The beauty of our program is the lack of curriculum – our mentors do not teach students to read; they simply provide a safe and judgement-free space for students to practice reading and nurture their love for books. 

We are currently looking for volunteers to act as Power Readers mentors during the 2026-27 school year. As a Power Readers mentor, you would be matched with an elementary student between 1st and 5th grade, who you would read with for the entirety of the academic school year (October 2026 – May 2027). You will have a scheduled day of the week to physically volunteer and read with that student at their school, get to know them, and mentor/encourage them through their reading journey. Sessions are one hour long and occur during the student’s lunch and recess hour (sometime between the hours of 10am – 2pm). 

Here is a list of our partner schools and their locations (in-person volunteering only): 

To become a Power Readers mentor, you will have to acquire a volunteer clearance from the school district of your preferred school (DCPS, APS, or MCPS), which our Volunteer Management team will help you complete.

If you are interested in mentoring a student with us, please fill out this form: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/txDfph6yz6 

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our other volunteer opportunities, please reach out to volunteers@everybodywinsdc.org.

Connect Your Neighbors With Local Volunteering Options – Right from Home!

When we know more, we can do more. 

Community Compass is a crowdsourced platform that connects volunteers with their community and each other. We’re building a national directory of nonprofit organizations, mutual aid and grassroots networks, service clubs, and more. Because volunteer groups come in all shapes and sizes, our Community Pages include smaller, less formal organizations alongside established nonprofits.

We’re looking for enthusiastic contributors (like you!) to help us update and enrich Community Pages and Organization Pages on Community Compass. With some research and your curiosity, you can help your neighbors quickly find nearby nonprofits, mutual aid groups, service clubs and more – making it simpler than ever for everyone to make a local impact.

Community Compass contributors have already helped us identify over 3,600 ways to volunteer in more than 380 communities in the US!

What You'll Do:

Be a Contributor: Conduct quick, simple online research to identify active service clubs, mutual aid groups, and upcoming volunteer events in your community.

Be a Fact Checker: Enhance your community's page on Ways to Connect by ensuring the information is current, accurate, and inviting for potential volunteers.

Be an Organizational Profile Builder: Create Community Compass pages for nonprofit organizations.

Be an Ambassador: Coming soon

Why Volunteer with Community Compass?

Easy and accessible: Volunteer remotely at your convenience.

Immediate community impact: Help your neighbors discover meaningful ways to contribute.

Flexible commitment: Volunteer for as little as 2 hours, or as much as you'd like.

Growth opportunities: Volunteers can explore deeper involvement through our Ambassador program.

Ready to help your community thrive? Join us today and make volunteering easier for everyone.

Today, more than ever, you can be the change the world needs. At StreetWise Partners, we connect driven professionals with mentees from overlooked communities to provide the career support, skills, and connections they need to succeed.

It's important to ensure we are pre-trained to help when disaster strikes.  Preparedness is key!  The more trained/prepared we are when, for example, a hurricane strikes, the more efficient we are to help those in need. This position indicates you might not be ready to volunteer, but you are ready to train to volunteer for future operations.  Training must be completed within 4 weeks and is self-paced.

Local large-scale disaster operations do not require a long-term commitment, but deploying to a disaster away from home requires 10 consecutive days of availability if you are a licensed mental health or health services provider, assisting with physical and mental health needs.  Licenses include RN, MD, LPN, NP, LCSW, among others.

Local large-scale disaster operations do not require a long-term commitment, but deploying to a disaster away from home requires 14 consecutive days of availability unless you are licensed in a health specialty (10 day requirement in that case).  Areas to train are for assisting in sheltering, feeding, distribution of supplies, logistics, and other activities that do not require a professional license. 

Are you interested in leading groups or working with teenagers and young adults? Do you want to help make a difference in the life of a young person? Would you like to teach immigrant youth about American civic life?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this might be the opportunity for you! Liberty's Promise seeks an energetic, volunteer facilitator at E.L. Haynes Middle School for its after-school program of civic engagement. Liberty's Promise supports young immigrants in need while encouraging them to be active and conscientious American citizens. The program serves immigrant youth, ages 11-15, and features more than 30 hours of programming that teaches participants about their community, civics, college, and careers. Unlike typical classroom civics courses, immigrant youth gain first-hand knowledge of local government and the benefits of civic participation through field trips to local community resources and meetings with guest speakers.

Our Fall program takes place twice a week for ten weeks, a volunteer is needed as soon as possible and ending in early December. The program also includes one or two Saturday field trips. Volunteer facilitators will work with Liberty's Promise staff to develop 30-minute activities that target each session's theme/main activity. Facilitators are also asked to submit a short activity report at the end of each session and to complete a final report at the end of the semester.

Washington Urban Debate League (WUDL) is excited to welcome volunteers who are ready to make an impact at our local tournaments and after school programs! Started in 2014, WUDL has made transformative debate opportunities available to thousands of students from more than 80 public schools across D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. We are dedicated to the continued success of our debaters, fostering community, and preparing them with the skills they will need to succeed in their careers and lives.

Volunteering for an urban debate league is a great way to make a large impact in a short amount of time. Every volunteer judge allows for 4 more students to participate, and the feedback you provide is crucial to their development. Volunteers’ dedication changes lives for students across the DMV, and we’re grateful for your support. Let’s keep making every debate tournament count!

Learn about volunteer roles below and sign up here. All volunteers must complete a background check, provided by WUDL.

Judging Opportunities: Tournament judges evaluate student debates, provide meaningful feedback, and inspire young debaters to reach their potential. No debate experience is necessary—we're looking for engaged volunteers with open minds and a commitment to student learning. Judges create the supportive, educational atmosphere that makes tournaments successful while helping nurture the next generation of thoughtful, articulate citizens.

Prefer consistent, periodic involvement

Usually during Saturdays, once a month from 8am to 6pm (with the option for a half-day)

Washington Urban Debate League (WUDL) supports, sustains, and starts new debate programs at public middle and high schools in the greater Washington area, especially at Title 1 schools. We work with more than 80 schools across the D.C. area, host the local tournament schedule, providing curriculum and resources to schools and students, host a summer program, and are other-wise a one-stop shop for debate in the region.

We've won numerous awards across the last ten years, including from the Spur Local as "one of the best" local nonprofits), the National Association of Urban Debate Leagues (Most Outstanding League), and are the reigning UDL Middle School National Champions (6 years in a row(!)

Why Debate?

Peer reviewed research shows that debate is one of the best things that a student can do with their time to compliment their traditional education. Debate improves test scores and grades, graduation and college attendance, social-emotional growth, literacy, and civic engagement. Before the WUDL, debate programs were few and far between at public schools, especially in Title 1 Schools, existing only at elite private or suburban schools. Our programming makes a great educational opportunity available to students who haven't traditionally had access to it.

Our Program: Volunteers partner with school based coaches to run local teams, meeting with students at least once a week. We are looking for folks able to work with a local school in the mid-late afternoons, many meeting times are still TBD with the start of the school year. The ideal coach could attend Saturday tournaments with their kids, but this IS NOT a requirement.

We are looking for volunteers to help our job seekers with the following:

- Mock Interviews (as needed basis).

-Computer/tech skills.

-Reviewing & Editing Resumes.

- Informational interviews about a specific career/industry.

The Latino Student Fund's Tutoring Program provides free support and academic assistance to Washington metropolitan area students to ensure their academic success. We offer individualized tutoring to support students from PreK through 12th grade in math and reading.

We are looking for volunteers ages 14 and up interested in working one-on-one with students on Saturday mornings from 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM in Downtown Silver Spring (8700 Georgia Ave, Suite #500).
