Organization Details

Jumpstart is an early childhood education non-profit.  Jumpstart was founded by two Yale students in 1993 on the belief that young children need to recieve specialized attention.  Jumpstart utilizes college students and community members to provide supplemental cirriculum to children ages 3 through 5.  Nationally, Jumpstart engaged over 3,000 adults and served over 9,000 children within the last year!

In New York, this year Jumpstart is partnering with 10 higher education institutions to recruit and train over 460 college Corps members!  These Corps members will serve over 1,200 young children in 30 early learning centers in New York.  The NY Readers Program engages adult volunteers in serving over 300 children in the Bronx, Harlem and the Lower Eastside of Manhattan.  Jumpstart also engages volunteers and serves children through one time and special volunteer events!
