Volunteer Opportunities

  • Attention: HDFS Majors

    Are you interested in working with young children and their families? Come join Jumpstart. We are a national early education organization that serves preschool children living in low-income neighborhoods. Our research based curriculum is proven to help children develop the language and literacy skills they need to be ready for kindergarten. Our family involvement portion allows us to engage parents and guardians in their child’s early education journey, setting them on a path to close the achievement gap before it is too late.

    We are working toward the day every child in America enters kindergarten prepared to succeed—come be part of the movement.

    You must have one of the following time slots available for our session times:

    M/W: 12:30-4:30, 2:30-6:30

    M/F:12:30-4:30

    T/TH: 12:30-4:30, 2:00-6:00, 2:30-6:30
