JUMPSTART is hiring for the upcoming year! Jumpstart is an AmeriCorps program that recruits college students to mentor preschool-age children who need you. Earn an AmeriCorps education award and a work-study wage by reading stories, singing songs and playing games that support young children’s school readiness. Jumpstart Corps members work on teams with other college students for 12-14 hours a week in local early childhood and Head Start centers, paired one-on-one with a partner child. Gain valuable skills and experience, earn federal work-study money, and make a difference in the life of a child! Visit our website and apply now at www.jstart.org/apply .
If you are interested in Jumpstart, please keep the program in mind when finalizing your fall 2006 classes. To serve with Jumpstart, you will need two afternoons free each week. Teams will meet on Monday and Wednesday from 2:30-6pm, and on Tuesday and Thursday from 2:30-6pm.
