Volunteer Opportunities

  • Interested in education?Need classroom experience?

    Are you looking to get experience in the classroom? 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 succeed in kindergarten. Volunteers also get hands on experience in the classroom assisting teachers during school hours. This model sets young children 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 the following time slots available for our session times:

    M/W: 9:00-1:00, 12:30-4:30, 2:15-6:15, 2:30-6:00
