Jumpstart for Young Children - CA - Corps Member
 
 
 
Jumpstart recruits and trains members to work with preschool children in low-income neighborhoods. Jumpstart’s curriculum allows them 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 AmeriCorps members have the unique opportunity to inspire young children to learn, serve in a local community, collaborate with others on a team, and build professional skills. All AmeriCorps members receive high quality training to help them implement Jumpstart’s outcome-based program, promote children’s school success, and build family engagement. This position serves vulnerable populations, i.e. preschool children. AmeriCorps members complete an intensive commitment and make a substantial impact in the life of young children. During the school year, AmeriCorps members serve 300 hours by fulfilling responsibilities both in the classroom and outside of the classroom.
