GO PROJECT INC


  • Mission

    The GO Project (“GO”) helps New York City public school students thrive in the earliest stages of their education through year-round academic, social-emotional, and family support. Since 1968, GO’s out-of-school time programming has equipped thousands of children with the confidence and skills needed to make academic gains, enroll in high-performing middle and high schools, graduate on time, and achieve college success. By harnessing New York’s physical, financial, and intellectual resources, GO has grown from a group of volunteers serving 30 students on the Lower East Side into a $3 million organization creating equal opportunity for more than 700 students citywide.

    About Us

    In 1968, members of Grace Church and Grace Church School in the East Village joined together to solve a problem. Just a few blocks away in the Lower East Side, many students were living in poverty and failing to thrive in under-performing public schools. Their concerned neighbors saw an opportunity-use available classroom space at Grace Church School on Saturdays and during the summer to provide a high quality tutoring program for struggling elementary school students, and equip them with the skills needed for future success.
