Volunteer Opportunity Details:

The GO Project shapes the futures of low-income New York City public school children by providing critical academic, social and emotional support starting in the early elementary years. GO provides year-round educational and family support services to children who are performing below grade level and equips them with the confidence and skills needed to succeed at school, at home and in life.

The GO Project’s year round programming includes GO Summer a five-week, full-day summer school program and GO School, an individualized tutoring program meeting on twenty-two Saturdays throughout the school year.
