We are thrilled that Jumpstart was celebrated at Sunday's San Francisco Giants game! ⚾ A huge thank you to our board member Greg Johnson for inviting Jumpstart to the ballpark and hosting us in the Franklin Templeton suite, and for the opportunity to share our work with the community. Jumpstart is a national nonprofit that partners with students at two pivotal moments in their academic journey—preschool and college. Through the caring support of their college mentors, preschool participants make academic, emotional, and literacy gains, while college mentors receive real-world experience preparing them for their future in education. It was wonderful to share this special day with our CEO Crystal Rountree, Director of Development Victoria Radleigh Smith, and VP of Programs Dr. Ashley C. Williams! #TeamJumpstart #ECELeadership
