什么是AmeriCorps Jumpstart?
Jumpstart is an EngageAR AmeriCorps national 服务 program working toward the day
每个进入幼儿园的孩子都准备好了成功. 美国志愿队得到了广泛的认可
the United States with over 1 million members participating in the program since 1994.
We recruit college students across the country to serve in under-resourced and under-served
preschool classrooms working with children ages 3-5 years old to build their language,
识字和社交情感技能.
Jumpstart投入了多少时间?
Jumpstart members commit to serve between 10-15 hours per week with the program for
一学年总共300个小时. Jumpstart时间是通过几个小时获得的
不同的方法. 成员 serve with a team of 4-6 peers to conduct Jumpstart sessions
在幼儿园教室里. 课程每周在上午进行两次. 每个会话
consists of a greeting, a small group time to read the story of the week, center time
(activities such as art, dramatic play, puzzles, reading, and writing), and a closing.
After each session, members participate in a one-hour team planning meeting at UAFS.
They also participate in individual 服务 time to assist the classroom teacher.
All members receive up to 60 hours of training offered through a combination of online
以及现场培训. Potential members are encouraged to schedule classes to allow
for 服务 from 8-2 on Mondays and Fridays or Tuesdays 和周四. 学龄前儿童
are typically awake and active in the morning, which is Jumpstarts most valuable time
在教室里.
在Jumpstart工作有什么好处?
Jumpstart is not a job, but is instead recognized as national 服务; therefore,
members do not earn an hourly wage but do receive a living allowance to help with
additional expenses they may incur due to 服务, such as fuel and food costs. 成员
can earn up to $6,400 in cash and scholarships by the completion of their term of
服务. All members, except those participating in Federal Work Study, receive a
$225 monthly living allowance, from September 2022-May 2023, while in 服务 to assist
有了这些基本需求. Those who successfully complete their 300-hour 服务 commitment
by the end of their term (school year) receive a $1374 educational award (scholarship)
用来支付将来的大学学费. 今年，Jumpstart也开始合作
with Arkansas Tutor Corps to provide members with the opportunity to earn up to $3,000
more by taking an additional 20-30 hours of training with their program. 成员获得
valuable classroom and national 服务 experience to enhance their resumes.

到目前为止我们的影响是什么?
The UAFS Jumpstart program was the first of its kind in Arkansas serving the River 谷. Since 2019, thirty-nine members have served a total of nearly 12,000 hours while receiving over $150,000 total in financial support via the living allowance, federal work study positions, and AmeriCorps Segal Education Awards. 成员 过去三年服务了175个孩子. 服务站点计划合作伙伴包括: Fort Smith Public 学校, Lincoln Child Care Center, Dallas Street Head Start, and the Crisis Intervention Center’s former preschool Brighter Beginnings. 在 21-22 school year, children demonstrated gains of an average of 20 points on the Test of Preschool Early Literacy, which far exceeds typical growth for a school year. 第二个 language learners have made the greatest gains through the assistance of bilingual 服务人员. Join Jumpstart as we work toward the day that every child in the River 谷 and Northwest Arkansas enters kindergarten ready to succeed!
