Mentor Preschool Children: Prepare Young Kids for Success in School and Life

Feel young again! Make an impact in the life of a young child and help prepare them for success in school and in life. Work in the preschool classroom, reading to children, singing songs, playing games and having fun while building their language and literacy skills.

Jumpstart is a national early education organization serving preschool children to help develop their language and literacy skills so they are prepared to enter Kindergarten ready to succeed. Our volunteers, called Corps members, serve in a preschool classroom delivering a research-based curriculum to build children’s language and literacy skills. All members work on a team, receive comprehensive training in early education and Jumpstart’s curriculum, and are supported throughout their service by the Jumpstart Community Corps Manager. Not only do Corps Members make a difference in the lives of young children, they also gain valuable training and experience in an early education center.
