Jumpstart Pittsburgh

Our Jumpstart Corps Members have been diving into some fantastic reads this January—Peter’s Chair embraces change, Khalil and Mr. Hagerty and the Backyard Treasures celebrates friendship, and A Letter to Amy sparks unexpected connections. Join us in celebrating the magic of reading and the adventures that bring our community together!

A huge thank you to our incredible Jumpstart Corps Members who spent MLK Day serving with Shepherd’s Heart Fellowship and the Veterans’ Home. We had a lot of fun giving back to our community, and we hope this day provided everyone with an opportunity to reflect, connect, and make an impact.

To celebrate Thanksgiving, our Corps Members wrote anonymous thank-you notes to each other! These small words of kindness were an easy way for us to show our gratitude this holiday season. We are extremely thankful for everyone who makes up our team, and we hope your Thanksgiving break is filled with love and joy! 🤎🦃

This year's Read for the Record Book, With Lots of Love, written by Jenny Torres Sanchez and illustrated by
André Ceolin discusses the struggles a young girl faces due to immigration.

Rocio grew up in Central America, but her family has decided to move to the United States. Although she does her best to adjust to this new lifestyle and environment, she finds herself missing her Abuela (and her cooking).

The author, although born in New York City, has immigrant parents from Guatemala and El Salvador. Her book is a great way to teach young children about immigration and the importance of family.

We hope you join us on October 26th to read this book! Stay tuned to see how our Corps Members celebrate Read for the Record.
