Volunteer Opportunities

  • Earn Work Study This Fall

    Earn work study while changing a child’s life. Jumpstart is a yearlong AmeriCorps program that provides professional training in early education, in addition to an AmeriCorps Education scholarship following your service.

    We are a national early education organization that serves preschool children living in low-income neighborhoods.  Our proven curriculum helps children develop the language and literacy skills they need to be ready for kindergarten, setting them on a path to close the achievement gap before it is too late.

    M/W: 12:30-4:30 OR 2:30-6:30 OR 4:30-8:30
