Through one-to-one mentoring, students of The Claremont Colleges, working for Jumpstart, improve the school readiness skills of at-risk preschoolers, specifically in the areas of at-risk preschoolers, particularly in the areas of language, literacy and social skills. The Jumpstart mission is to build school success, family involvement and future teachers — one child at a time.

PAct

The PAct Program Board is designed to promote two things: access and involvement. This structure provides more activities and events, using a wellness framework, and makes it easier for any student to get involved in campus life. The Student Directors meet weekly, planning and conducting activities on and off campus, and making allocations for one-time events organized by any student.
