Jumpstart is currently hiring for our 2021-2022 UCLA Corps, and we’d like to share our hiring process with you!

Jumpstart is a national non-profit organization that recruits and trains caring college students to work with preschool children in underserved communities. During a typical year, Jumpstart members serve 12-14 hours a week in local early childhood centers and implement the Jumpstart curriculum with their team of 5-7 corps members. 

If you are excited to work with your fellow Bruins in creating innovative and fun ways to inspire learning in the classroom, Jumpstart is the place for you! But don’t just take our word for it—you can learn a little bit more about our program from two of our members here and here!

Jumpstart is largely funded through AmeriCorps which, if you qualify, provides you with the Segal Education Award– currently $1,311- upon successful completion of 300 hours. We are also a work-study program on campus, allowing eligible students to be paid bi-weekly for their Jumpstart service. You do not need to be eligible for work-study in order to join Jumpstart, you can also join as an unpaid AmeriCorps volunteer. 

Applications are now open and can be found at www.jstart.org/apply. 

Applications will be accepted until October 31st, or until all positions are filled.
