Want to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most this summer? One great way is by joining our team of volunteers who are serving with Eisenhower Middle School’s Jump Start three-week summer school. This program provides extra instruction and encouragement to middle school kids - including a sizable group of immigrant children from Afghanistan and Latin America who are in the early stages of learning English.

Plus, Bluemont is taking the lead on bringing a daily Habitudes character formation class into Jump Start.

We’ve now been serving at EMS regularly for the past two years, and are looking for the right volunteers to join us this summer as we continue to build relationships and invest in the next generation.

Jump Start meets from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. each weekday. You can sign up for 1-3 hour blocks of time. (2-3 is ideal.)

Once you sign up, we’ll be getting you a background check, too.
