ORGANIZATION: Jumpstart Southern California

Smile!

Interested in volunteering with your community members or corporate colleagues?

Jumpstart is a national early education nonprofit organization working towards the day that every child in America enters kindergarten prepared to succeed. We are dedicated to inspiring children to learn, adults to teach, families to get involved, and communities to progress together. With our community engagement initiative, we focus on our impact beyond the classroom level and into our communities.

How our "Project in a Box" works is we send/drop-off a box of materials that your organization, community, and/or corporate partners can create and craft with! You and your team will help us create components that will be placed in a literacy kit to be distributed at community events or to our partner preschool children that we work with.

Tasks include: cutting out templates of flashcards and dragons, compiling storybooks, and drawing and writing postcards! These materials are the interactive tools used to deepen children's understanding of new concepts and vocabulary that contribute to the learning success of our curriculum.

If you are interested and would like more information, please email me at dolores.lukban@jstart.org.

Mission Statement

Jumpstart is working toward the day every child in America enters school prepared to succeed.

Description

Each year, one third of America's children arrive on their first day of school without the skills necessary to succeed at grade level. When children begin behind their peers, catching up, especially without additional assistance, is difficult and unlikely. By focusing on enriching the education of preschool students from disadvantaged communities, Jumpstart is making sure every child has a chance at success. Jumpstart is a national nonprofit dedicated to inspiring children to learn, adults to teach, families to get involved, and communities to progress together.
