Dedicated to the pure potential of children everywhere
Inspired by early education and powered by community service
From the beginning
Jumpstart began in 1993 when two students at Yale University had a simple idea that, through the power of community service, college students could make a huge difference in the lives of preschool children. In our first year, 15 college students partnered with 15 preschool children in New Haven, Connecticut.
Growing stronger
Since 2000, thanks to generous support from our education partners and sponsors, the Jumpstart network has increased annually by an average of nearly 30 percent, making it one of America’s fastest growing nonprofit organizations. Today, Jumpstart is determined to reach more children in more communities by replicating our proven program model.
At Jumpstart, we know that every child is born with the potential to succeed in school and in life. We also know that the foundation for that success is established in the early years, before a child enters kindergarten.
To cultivate a child’s social, emotional and intellectual readiness, Jumpstart brings college students and community volunteers together with preschool children for year long, individualized tutoring and mentoring.
Since 1993, more than 70,000 preschool children across America have benefited from millions of hours of Jumpstart service. This year alone, Jumpstart volunteers are serving more than one million hours with 13,000 preschool children in more than 60 communities across America.
Today, Jumpstart is recognized as a one of the nation’s leading nonprofit organization in the field of early childhood education. Support us as we work toward the day every child in America enters school prepared to succeed.
