Volunteer Opportunities

  • Experience With Young Children and Families

    Are you interested in working with young children and their families? Join Jumpstart! Jumpstart is a national early education organization that serves local preschool children. Our research-based curriculum is proven to help children develop the language and literacy skills they need succeed in kindergarten. Volunteers have the opportunity to practice what they’ve learned in class in an actual classroom, assisting teachers during school hours. 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. So what are you waiting for? Apply today!

    We are working toward the day every child in America enters kindergarten prepared to succeed. Become a part of the movement.
