When Isabella entered GO as a first grader, she was struggling academically and at risk of being held back. With individualized support and a caring community, she found her confidence academically, socially, and as a leader.
Now a high school sophomore, Isabella she has returned to GO as a GO Getter intern, supporting students in the same classrooms where her journey began. Her story reflects the momentum of 2025. This year, GO expanded to a second Brooklyn location through our partnership with The Packer Collegiate Institute, allowing us to serve new communities and respond to increasing demand.
Our results underscore this growth: in 2024–25, 84% of students achieved expected grade-level growth or more in literacy, and 87% in math. These outcomes represent real progress for hundreds of students.
We also strengthened our foundation with a new headquarters at 11 Broadway, better positioning our team to support expanding programs across Manhattan and Brooklyn.
All of our work is powered by partnership from schools and volunteers to donors who make it all possible. Thank you for believing in our mission and for helping GO students GO further.
With gratitude,
Gayle Villani
Executive Director
