Volunteer Opportunities

  • Jumpstart Application Now Available

    We will be hosting an Open House on April 5th from 6:00-7:00 in SU 309 where you can get to know some of the Jumpstart team, get to know a bit more about the program, and ask any questions you may have. We hope to see you there!

    Jumpstart is working toward the day every child in America enters school prepared to succeed.  Jumpstart partners college students around the country with preschool children for the academic year to enhance their language and literacy skills.  Jumpstart UConn has been a part of Community Outreach since 2007. Each year, we select 80 dedicated UConn students to participate in our program.  I would like to invite you to submit an application with Jumpstart to join our amazing team of committed students.

     

    For team placement, you must have one of the following time slots available:

    Mon/Wed: 8:30am – 12:30pm, 12:30pm – 4:30pm, 2:30pm – 6:30pm
