Every Monday Matters

EMM started with a book entitled Every Monday Matters - 52 Ways to Make a Difference. The idea was simple: show people how they can change the world by doing something every Monday to make a difference. That people matter. EMM has since become a national movement of ordinary people doing extraordinary good. Through a year-long feature on Oprah.com, a syndicated newspaper column, speaking engagements across the country, their YOU MATTER K-12 School Curriculum and their YOU MATTER Corporate Social Responsibility program, EMM is changing the world… one Monday at a time.
