Jumpstart’s mission is to work toward the day every child in America enters school prepared to succeed. To this end, we train and support college students to serve as part-time AmeriCorps members, working individually with young children to build skills crucial to school success. Jumpstart focuses on three program areas: building School Success for young children by fostering their early language and literacy, social and initiative skills; encouraging strong Family Involvement to help families support children’s learning; and training college students to be Future Teachers and leaders in early childhood education.
The Jumpstart Graduate Assistant will oversee all aspects of program's development, implementation, and evaluation related to Family Involvement and Special Events. The Jumpstart Graduate Assistant will work closely with students to develop take home family involvement activities and plan special team building and professional development events. Primary responsibilities include but are not limited to program development, planning, monitoring student participants while providing leadership and mentoring to undergraduate students. The Graduate Assistant will work with Jumpstart staff to develop, evaluate, expand and contribute to the growth of Jumpstart programming currently offered from the Volunteer Center.
