jumpstart
Landed an interview with jumpstart (www.jstart.org) next week. A great organization! Been working hard to align myself with such an organization. Their cause is my cause. I hope they give me the jumpstart I am looking for.
Jumpstart is a national early education organization that recruits and trains college students and community Corps members to serve preschool children in low-income neighborhoods. Our proven curriculum helps children develop the language and literacy skills they need to be ready for school, setting them on a path to close the achievement gap before it is too late.
