Jumpstart is a national non-profit early education organization that ensures low-income preschoolers enter school with the foundation of skills necessary to their future success. Jumpstart directly combats the rising trend of school unpreparedness by pairing low-income preschoolers and caring adults in year-long, one-to-one mentoring relationships. The program operates 60 sites nationwide, serving 10,000 children annually.
The Starbucks Foundation has proudly supported Jumpstart’s efforts since 2001, acting as Jumpstart’s Official Growth Partner and National Sponsor. Starbucks provides critical funding to continue Jumpstart’s work with preschoolers, families and college students as well as fund expansion in new communities. |
