Activities or mission (Part I)

JUMPSTART'S MISSION IS TO WORK TOWARD THE DAY EVERY CHILD IN AMERICA ENTERS KINDERGARTEN PREPARED TO SUCCEED. JUMPSTART WORKS TOWARD REALIZING THIS MISSION BY BRINGING TOGETHER CARING ADULTS, COMMUNITIES, FAMILIES AND PRESCHOOLS TO GIVE PRESCHOOL CHILDREN THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED IN SCHOOL AND LIFE. JUMPSTART TRAINS AND DEPLOYS TEAMS OF CORPS MEMBERS - ABOUT FOUR TO SIX PER TEAM - TO WORK WITH PRESCHOOL CHILDREN IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES FOR A FULL SCHOOL YEAR (ON AVERAGE 300 HOURS) OF TUTORING AND MENTORING IN PRESCHOOL CLASSROOMS.

  • SEE SCHEDULE O:DIRECT SERVICE PROGRAMMINGTO REALIZE ITS VISION OF KINDERGARTEN READINESS, JUMPSTART ENGAGES AND TRAINS COLLEGE STUDENT VOLUNTEERS, KNOWN AS CORPS MEMBERS, TO DELIVER AN INTENTIONAL ORAL LANGUAGE CURRICULUM TO PRESCHOOL CHILDREN IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. BY ADDING TRAINED ADULTS TO PRESCHOOL CLASSROOMS, JUMPSTART PROVIDES MORE INDIVIDUALIZED INTERACTIONS WITH CHILDREN AND ENRICHES THE OVERALL LANGUAGE ENVIRONMENT IN CLASSROOMS. DELIVERY OF JUMPSTART'S CURRICULUM IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING KEY PRINCIPLES: (1) UTILIZE CULTURALLY COMPETENT, DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE PRACTICES; (2) ENGAGE CHILDREN IN PLAYFUL LEARNING EXPERIENCES; (3) BALANCE ADULT-LED AND CHILD-INITIATED LEARNING; (4) HOLD HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR ALL CHILDREN; AND (5) SUPPORT CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENT IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY FEEL SAFE, VALUED, RESPECTED, SEEN, AND HEARD. TYPICALLY, TEAMS OF FOUR TO SIX JUMPSTART CORPS MEMBERS SERVE IN ONE PRESCHOOL CLASSROOM THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR, DEVELOPING THE LANGUAGE, LITERACY, AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL SKILLS OF THEIR PARTNER CHILDREN. TEAMS OF CORPS MEMBERS CONDUCT TWO-HOUR "JUMPSTART SESSIONS" TWICE PER WEEK WITH THEIR FULL PARTNER CLASS. CORPS MEMBERS TYPICALLY SERVE 2-5 HOURS OF ADDITIONAL INDIVIDUAL CLASSROOM SERVICE (ICS) PER WEEK, IMPLEMENTING INDIVIDUALIZED ACTIVITIES WITH CHILDREN AND SUPPORTING TEACHER-LED ACTIVITIES. JUMPSTART SESSIONS HAVE A CONSISTENT ROUTINE SO CHILDREN KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT AND WHAT TO DO, WHICH IS IMPORTANT FOR DEVELOPING SELF-REGULATION SKILLS. SESSIONS ARE A BLEND OF LARGE AND SMALL GROUP LEARNING EXPERIENCES AND INDEPENDENT PLAY. TO START, CORPS MEMBERS INTRODUCE CHILDREN TO THE MESSAGE, THEMES, AND VOCABULARY OF THAT DAY'S SESSION. A SMALL GROUP SHARED READING EXPERIENCE HELPS CHILDREN DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING OF VOCABULARY AND CONTENT KNOWLEDGE AND BEGIN TO COMPREHEND CONNECTIONS BETWEEN CHARACTERS' MENTAL STATES AND THEIR BEHAVIOR. READING IS FOLLOWED BY A LARGE GROUP LEARNING TIME CENTERED AROUND AN INTERACTIVE ACTIVITY THAT BUILDS CHILDREN'S CONCEPTUAL KNOWLEDGE AND CONTENT VOCABULARY. NEXT, IN CENTER TIME, CHILDREN MAKE CHOICES, EXPERIMENT, PRACTICE NEW OR PREVIOUSLY LEARNED SKILLS, AND PLAY; CORPS MEMBERS ENGAGE CHILDREN IN CONVERSATIONS AND ACTIVITIES THAT SUPPORT ORAL LANGUAGE AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT. FINALLY, EACH SESSION CLOSES WITH AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CHILDREN TO SHARE ABOUT THE DAY'S ACTIVITIES WITH THEIR PEERS. CHILD AND MEMBER IMPACTIN 2024-25, JUMPSTART HAD 2,108 CORPS MEMBERS WHO DELIVERED ITS EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMMING TO 7,532 CHILDREN IN 13 STATES PLUS WASHINGTON, DC. CORPS MEMBERS REDUCE THE CHILD TO ADULT RATIO IN EVERY JUMPSTART CLASSROOM, ALLOWING CHILDREN TO RECEIVE AN INDIVIDUALIZED LEARNING EXPERIENCE THAT HELPS THEM TO DEVELOP NURTURING RELATIONSHIPS WITH CARING ADULTS. ON AVERAGE, A MAJORITY OF JUMPSTART CHILDREN MAKE GAINS OVER THE COURSE OF THE PROGRAM YEAR IN LANGUAGE AND LITERACY SKILLS DETERMINED TO BE PREDICTORS OF KINDERGARTEN READINESS AND SCHOOL SUCCESS. THROUGH THE DELIVERY OF PROGRAMMING TO CHILDREN, JUMPSTART IS ALSO EXPANDING THE PIPELINE OF QUALIFIED, DIVERSE TALENT PURSUING CAREERS IN EARLY EDUCATION. AS REPORTED ON THE 2022 CORPS MEMBER SURVEY, 86% OF CORPS MEMBERS EXPRESSED INTEREST IN A CAREER OR HIGHER DEGREE RELATED TO THEIR JUMPSTART SERVICE.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
