    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 promote the development of 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.
