Jumpstart Fresno was started at California State University, Fresno in the Fall of 2001. With its solid emphasis on service to the community, Fresno State continues to provide strong support to Jumpstart in the program’s continued development. This support has allowed Jumpstart to continue growing and providing opportunities for many students to serve the children and families in Fresno.
Jumpstart Fresno has grown from 40 Corps Members to now 90 dedicated Corps Members, representing the many communities of California’s Central Valley. Our program draws students from an assortment of majors, including Liberal Studies, Psychology, and Marketing, among many others.
Our Corps Members work at full strength with our program partners in Fresno: Joyce M. Huggins Center at Fresno State, Reading and Beyond, Stone Soup Fresno and Head Start. Our partnerships with these programs allow us to have an even greater impact on the Fresno community and our efforts to work toward the day that every child in America enters school prepared to succeed.
