Program Description and Requirements
​
Jumpstart provides language, literacy, and social-emotional programming for preschool children from under-resourced communities and promotes quality early learning for all. Corps members serve on a team with 5-7 peers and work directly with a local Jumpstart staff member on training, session planning, service opportunities, and more. The Members allow us to reduce the student-to-teacher ratio to 3:1 in almost every Jumpstart classroom, enabling children to receive an individualized learning experience and develop nurturing relationships with caring adults.
Requirements
-
Members must be at least 18 years of age by the start of service.
-
Members must be U.S. Citizens, U.S. nationals, or lawful permanent residents.
-
Members must have achieved a high school diploma or GED by the start of service.
-
Members must not have previously served for AmeriCorps State or National terms.
