| | Dear Phillip,
Welcome to 2009 and thank you for joining us for another incredible year. This edition is all about national service-how you have supported it, how it answers our nation's call, and how it makes a real difference in people's lives. The stories inspire me and I hope they encourage you to join in the movement and continue to connect with Jumpstart.
Sincerely,
James Cleveland, Jumpstart President
JUMPSTART ANSWERS PRESIDENT OBAMA'S CALL WITH 1 MILLION HOURS OF NATIONAL SERVICE
For many of us at Jumpstart, the historic inauguration of President Obama renews hope for both the national service movement and early education. Jumpstart will serve more than 1 million hours to young children in 2009 and we hope that you will answer President Obama's call by supporting the work that Jumpstart does every day.
| YOUR DONATION MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Thank you for listening to our call for help during these uncertain economic times and generously giving to Jumpstart and our children. Thanks to you, we raised more than $20,000 online in the month of December. This money will be used directly in the classroom to help children foster a love of learning and prepare them for success in school!
IMPACTING THE LIVES OF OUR CORPS MEMBERS
Jumpstart's work with young children helps change their lives, but what about our Corps members? Thanks to your support, Jumpstart's Corps members are impacted every day by the work they do. "Jumpstart has made a change in me," said one Corps member. "Teaching the children to read and write and allowing them to explore their imagination has taught me the power that I have to make a positive change in the world."
Forward-to-Friend |
