Happy #NationalParentsDay! We deeply appreciate the tireless efforts and dedication of the parents and caregivers in our community. Every day you work to raise strong, healthy children and thoughtfully nurture their growing minds, embodying the spirit of a caring village that we are honored to be part of. Parents and caregivers play a crucial role in children’s education. Reading aloud to young children is one of the most impactful factors on a child’s future learning, as it sets up a lifetime of improving literacy and cognition skills. Jumpstart’s #ReadForTheRecord is proud to support families’ home libraries, distributing hundreds of thousands of inclusive, high-quality picture books each year.

Welcome to Jumpstart Lily Griffin! We're so excited to have you on our team, and we're delighted that you're focusing your years of experience and passion for public service in the early childhood education space! #TeamJumpstart
Just completed my first day as Associate Site Manager for Jumpstart with the amazing team at The George Washington University! 🎉 As a transition from a VISTA to a permanent staff member at GW, I'm so grateful for the rich experience in public service, civic engagement, and community outreach at GW Honey W. Nashman Center for Civic Engagement and Public Service. I am truly passionate about continuing my contributions to equitable and empowering early childhood education for all with Jumpstart. A huge thank you to the staff, students, and graduate assistants (past and present) at the Nashman Center and all of my mentors, colleagues, and friends for their past, present, and future support!

Thank you to NeoPangea for their beautiful design work on our Bright Minds, Bold Futures campaign. Together, we can ensure that all preschool children receive quality early education to jumpstart their bright futures. To learn more, visit: https://bit.ly/4d2eZSW
Pro-bono digitalis graphicas, or Latin for “Give Back to your Community!” Galvanizing audiences to support early childhood education, Jumpstart launched their year-long fundraising effort called, “Bright Minds, Bold Futures,” with NeoPangea tapping in with creative support. Jumpstart's mission is to build brighter futures by supporting children as they embark on their kindergarten journey and mentoring young adults as they step into their professional lives. Focusing on the ages of the student’s that gain the transferrable skills, we designed big and bright visuals reminiscent of a teacher’s classroom, with colors and shapes you would see on an elementary school’s bulletin board! Beyond mere decoration, the banners and web graphics we created help the Jumpstart team re-skin fundraising webpages and design multitudes of social and web banner graphics using re-usable templates. Creating graphic content that attracts donors to content-rich storytelling, we hope that Jumpstart has a successful year working tirelessly to achieve their goals giving educational opportunities to students! #cantstopwontstop Jumpstart NeoPangea #jumpstart #philanthropy #designedbyneo #design #webdesign #bannerdesign #socialmediatemplates
