Jumpstart is now hiring Corps Members and Team Leaders! Jumpstart is a national early education organization that recruits and trains college students and community volunteers to work with preschool children in low-income neighborhoods. Through a proven curriculum, these children develop the language and literacy skills they need to be ready for school, setting them on a path to close the achievement gap before it is too late. Jumpstart Corps members have the unique opportunity to inspire young children to learn, serve in a local community, work on a team, and build professional skills. All Corps members receive professional-caliber training to help them implement Jumpstart’s outcome-based program, promote children’s school success, and build family involvement.
Corps members complete an intensive commitment and make a substantial impact in the life of a young child. During the school year, Corps members participate in the following activities:
Serve part-time, 8-12 hours per week, during the school year, including:
- Jumpstart sessions with team and small groups of children, 4 hours per week (two sessions per week for two hours each)
- Team planning meetings and session preparation, which includes planning, reflection, and/or training, 2-3 hours per week
- 2 hours each week in a preschool classroom during the regular school day
- 1 hour of individual planning and preparation for Jumpstart sessions
- Communicate with children’s family
- Participate in intensive pre-service and on-going trainings
- Attend periodic service days, often held on weekends
