WHAT IS JUMPSTART AT TEMPLE? 

Jumpstart is a national early childhood organization that advances learning outcomes by recruiting and supporting caring adults to deliver high-quality programming to young children.  

Jumpstart members support children in developing strong language and literacy as well as socio-emotional skills to help them prepare for kindergarten, setting them on a long-term path to academic success. Jumpstart is striving for a future where every child in America enters kindergarten prepared to succeed. 

Jumpstart at Temple offers students a unique opportunity to engage with communities around Philadelphia, spread a love of reading and collaborate with peers across the university to build a brighter future for young learners in North Philadelphia. 

Being a part of the Jumpstart team will grant you the opportunity to: 

• Work directly with preschool children in the North Philadelphia community. 

• Collaborate with Temple students from all majors committed to social change. 

• Earn your entire work-study award or volunteer. 

• Earn an Segal AmeriCorps Education Award to pay tuition or student loans.
