Julie has gotten to know Jumpstart as a member of their Young Professionals Board since 2015. Jumpstart is a national early education organization working toward the day every child in America enters kindergarten prepared to succeed. Children from low-income neighborhoods start kindergarten 60% behind their peers from more affluent backgrounds, and when you start behind, you tend to stay behind. By providing research-based language, literacy, and social-emotional programming for preschool children from under-resourced communities, Jumpstart works to level the playing field and allow all children an equal opportunity to succeed.
Knowing the importance of education in our own lives and the research on the importance of early education, we hope you'll join us in supporting the incredible work Jumpstart is doing.
