Jumpstart Seattle at the University of Washington

Announcements

Jumpstart is fully recruited for 2009-2010!

We have had more interest than ever from UW students looking to make a difference in the life of a child! This year we will have 110 UW students working in 16 preschool classrooms in Seattle!

Thank you to everyone who has joined Jumpstart this year and everyone who helped with the interview process!

Support Jumpstart at UW with Read for the Record!

"Read for the Record aims to break the world record of the largest shared reading experience by encouraging hundreds of thousands of children and adults to read the same book on the same day. Last year, Jumpstart sites nationwide set a Guinness World Record with 688,781 people reading the same book on the same day. This year, Jumpstart’s goal is to break their own record by having 1,000,000 children devour The Very Hungry Caterpillar on October 8, 2009. Each preschooler “reading for the record” with a Jumpstart site will also receive their own copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar to continue reading at home. "
