Founded in 1968, the GO Project provides academic assistance and social services to low- income, underperforming elementary school children in Lower Manhattan. GO identifies public school students performing below grade level and helps improve their academic performance, build self-esteem, and develop essential life skills. GO’s year-round programs address the intellectual, social and emotional needs of children and their families.
