2017 annual report the cycle of thriving begins with inspiration

Each child has a unique set of gifts and abilities that provides a foundation for learning and success. Jumpstart helps children tap into and develop their inherent assets, then leverage those assets to build self-efficacy and a propensity to shine as they move through various stages of life. Our work is built on the premise that, with the right support, every member of the Jumpstart family can rise and reach their potential to thrive.

“I walked into the school one day,” says Jumpstart’s Arizona Program Coordinator, Amanda Gryzkewicz, “and the director told me, ‘There’s a pig in Christiana’s classroom.’”

For students living in urban Phoenix, this was their first encounter with a hog. They loved it.

This willingness to try new things is what makes Christiana ideal for Jumpstart’s Workforce Pathways Program, which provides early childhood education training to Arizona teachers in pre- schools that serve children from low-income communities. In addition to receiving customized training, participating teachers enroll in courses

“I had an unstable education when I was younger and got put in remedial education,” says Christiana. “As I got older, I started volunteering to help younger kids with reading and math, things my grandmother used to help me with.”

“The Jumpstart program has given me a better understanding of why literacy skills are so important,” says Christiana. “I’ve seen improvements in my students’ vocabulary just from introducing new books. We sit down and have more intimate conversations about how the books make them feel.”

Above all, Christiana says, “I love putting more things in my toolbox and learning new ways to help the kids.”

Jumpstart 2017 Annual Report 15 read for the record Each year, Jumpstart begins our program year with a special campaign to promote the importance of early literacy and reading together. Jumpstart’s Read for the Record reaches not only the children that Jumpstart serves, but also brings together schools, communities, and families across the globe.

On October 27, 2016, over 2.3 million children, families, educators, and volunteers gathered together to read The Bear Ate Your Sandwich by Julia Sarcone-Roach. Jumpstart’s curriculum team worked with Random House Children’s Books to create a special edition book featuring content that emphasized reading comprehension, vocabulary, and, most importantly, how to make reading together a memorable and fun event for children and adults.

Jumpstart Literacy Champions — including NFL player Martellus Bennett, fitness star Shaun ,T and actors Jane Lynch, Bridget Moynahan, Josh Duhamel, and Kyla Drew — supported Read for the Record by helping to raise awareness through PSA videos and engaging posts on social media.

The Bear Ate Your Sandwich inspired a young reader to get into character.

In Boston, authors (from left) Erica Ferencik, New England Patriots’ Malcolm Mitchell, M.T. Anderson, and Dick Lehr discussed what writing meant to them in a panel moderated by Andre Dubus III.

Events like our Scribbles to Novels galas and Fall Celebration and Luncheon allow us and our partners to celebrate the impact that Jumpstart makes in communities around the country. The events are also a chance to honor Jumpstart Corps members and alumni for the amazing work they have done and continue to do in the fight for educational equity.

At Scribbles to Novels events in New York, Boston, and San Francisco, we celebrated a central theme of Jumpstart’s work — the power of literacy and the written word. In Jumpstart classrooms, books open the doors to new worlds and perspectives, and become a gateway through which we make powerful connections and learn key skills. We also highlighted 17 authors of books currently making a mark on the literary landscape, and discussed the transformative power that books had on their own lives. All together, Scribbles to Novels, Los Angeles’ Fall Celebration, Connecticut’s Evening with Jumpstart, and New York’s Fall Luncheon raised over $2.3 million towards our goal of making sure that every child enters kindergarten prepared to succeed.
