More than twenty years ago, four college students asked each other: What if we could offer children from under-resourced communities individualized attention before they enter kindergarten, giving them the critical academic and social skills—the ‘jumpstart’—they need to succeed? The idea took hold and today Jumpstart has trained more than 45,000 college students and community volunteers, preparing nearly 100,000 children for kindergarten success. Jumpstart’s program is replicated across the country in 14 states and the District of Columbia. We leverage partnerships with higher education institutions, community organizations, Head Start programs, community-based preschools, and school districts to create sustainable solutions in order to close the kindergarten readiness gap.

Since 1975, Coleman Advocates has pioneered programs and policies to expand opportunity for San Francisco’s children, youth and families, Many of these hard-won programs and policies have served as models adopted by communities all over the country. Coleman currently focuses on building more effective, equitable, and supportive public schools in San Francisco and beyond.

Over 45,000 children were reported missing in Canada in 2011. That’s one child every 11 minutes. When a child first goes missing, the police, the media and the community all rally together to help the terrified and anxious family search for their child, but as time goes by, that involvement inevitably decreases. It is for these families that the Missing Children Society of Canada (MCSC) was established in 1986. Our unique and comprehensive programs serve families in the critical hours after a child goes missing and provide ongoing support until the child is found, investigative programs that assist police and searching families, mental health programs that help families deal with the emotional consequences of a missing child, and critical awareness generating campaigns that allow us to provide essential support for searching families. We are 100% funded by donations. And we provide our services at no cost to families.
