Jumpstart

Jumpstart recruits and trains achievement-oriented college students to deliver an innovative early education program through yearlong, one-to-one relationships. During the academic year, Jumpstart members are paired with low-income preschool children at Head Start and Boston Public Schools early learning centers in Roxbury to work with them on language and literacy, social, and initiative skills. Through this unique relationship, Jumpstart inspires children to learn, adults to teach, and communities to progress together.

If you are interested in being a Jumpstart member visit http://www.jstart.org to apply today!
