The GO Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to closing opportunity gaps for NYC public school students.
We help New York City public school students thrive in the earliest stages of their education through year-round academic, social-emotional, and family support.
What We Do
Our year-round programming equips K-8 students with the skills they need to make academic progress, perform at or above grade level, graduate on time, and achieve long-term educational success.
Students enroll in GO during K-2nd grades, and participate in our high-quality, year-round programming through 8th grade. Each year, students receive 200+ hours of additional instruction over the summer and on Saturdays during the school year.
Why GO Matters
Students that go through our programming achieve transformative results. Many don’t just catch up academically, but they move ahead of their peers, citywide. The outcomes demonstrate the lasting effects of early and sustained intervention.
