College programs across the US that bring thousands of young people into preschools to work one-to-one with at-risk children each year. At Florida State University, at any one time hundreds of trained college students are helping preschool children from low-income families with tutoring in school readiness skills. This program provides a high-quality, comprehensive experience that focuses on the development of the child, his or her family, and the college student serving as an AmeriCorps member. Through these three program areas — school success, family involvement and future teachers — Jumpstart works to create an environment of life-long learning for children.
