What is Jumpstart?

 

Jumpstart is a national early education organization that recruits and trains college students and community volunteers to serve preschool children in low-income neighborhoods. To learn more about Jumpstart and the life-changing work they do, visit www.jstart.org.

 

What is the Young Professionals Board?

 

So far, Jumpstart has launched YPBs in three areas: Boston, New York, and Northern California. The Boston YPB comprises a select group of local young professionals who work to support Jumpstart's programming in the Northeast US, especially in Boston.

 

Our Goals

 

• To raise awareness in the Boston area about the importance of early education

• To generate funds to support Jumpstart’s programming and provide literacy materials for children in Boston from low-income communities

• To provide opportunities for Boston-area young professionals to network and develop key skill sets
