Jumpstart is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that every child in America enters school prepared to succeed. To support this mission, we bring college students and community volunteers together with preschool children in low-income communities for a full school year of individualized mentoring and tutoring. Jumpstart's research-based curriculum is focused on building language, literacy, social and emotional skills in preschool children, while providing our volunteers with a rewarding way to have lasting impact in their communities. Jumpstart currently partners with over 60 colleges and universities nation-wide. Here at Simmons College with Colleges of the Fenway, our Corps members work one-on-one with children in two preschools in Boston's Jamaica Plain neighborhood.
