Welcome to Jumpstart San Francisco! Jumpstart SF is an affiliate of the national non-profit organization created to "engage young people in service towards the day that all children in America enter school prepared to succeed". The Jumpstart organization was created by two undergraduates that saw a need for enhanced literacy education for the Head Start Children they were working with.  From it's inception in 1993, Jumpstart has fostered literacy and social skills development in young children by placing college students in preschools to provide additional support to preschool programs. The Jumpstart program recruits, trains and pairs Federal Work-Study supported San Francisco State University students with preschool children struggling in early learning programs.  Throughout the school year and a special summer program, college students help preschool children develop the skills needed to be successful in school. Use this site as your resource for information on Jumpstart news and events, Corps member training information and applications, family activity resources, and information on our five preschool program partners.
