“The session about Dementia and the first seminar of its kind for South Asian seniors was very helpful. We all learned a lot through discussion and interaction and with the help of everyone’s experience. Looking forward to the next session very soon!” - Mr. Raisinghani, Member
Jumpstart for Young Children, Inc.
Jumpstart NYC aimed to achieve three goals for the2021– 2022 year. The first was to increase the language and literacy skills of 980 participating preschool-aged children from underserved New York City communities.
Then to recruit and provide a minimum of 40 hours of comprehensive early education training to 406 corps members. The third goal was to have a majority of corps members express improvement in their their parents.They provided homework assistance daily. Additionally, LPAC provided interactive art/science projects, virtual/live storybook reading, and group chats/hangout-and-chill virtual safe spaces. LPAC wanted to ensure that students received as much attention/service
as was needed to make certain that their experience was comprehensive—in meeting their needs—while providing them with opportunities to have assistance with their schoolwork, have some fun, hang out with schoolmates, and provide opportunities for positive interactions and engagement. They did this by creating a series of di ff erent daily interactions-Mindful Monday's, Tik Tok Tuesday's, Wellness Check-in Wednesday's,Trivia Thursday's, and FUN Friday's.
