Jumpstart Atlanta at Morehouse with Spelman College

Jumpstart works toward the day every child in America enters school prepared to succeed. To this end, we recruit, train, place, and support achievement-oriented college students to serve as part-time Corps members. Jumpstart Corps members work individually with preschool aged children to build the skills crucial to school success. Jumpstart focuses on three program areas: building School Success for young children by building their early communication, literacy, and social skills; encouraging strong Family Involvement to help families support child's learning at home; and train college students to be Future Teachers and leaders in early childhood education.
