Jumpstart's mission is simple yet significant: to engage young people in service to work toward the day every child in America enters school prepared to succeed. Jumpstart Seattle at the University of Washington trains and supports teams of UW undergraduates to help low-income children in preschool classrooms build language literacy, social relations, and initiative skills. The program allows undergraduates to explore the world of early childhood education, gain a deeper understanding of themselves, and increase their awareness of the diverse communities they serve.
