Students who participate in the Jumpstart Summer Program will have the opportunity to serve in a local elementary school four days a week and will 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 high quality training to help them implement Jumpstart’s outcome-based program, promote children’s school success, and build family involvement. It is a 300 hours commitment and volunteers who successfully complete the term have the opportunity to earn a $1200 Americorps Education Award. All volunteers must be willing to undergo a Criminal History check.
