The GO Project provides year-round academic, enrichment and social services to 250 at-risk elementary public school students.

Description:
The GO Project helps these public school students to achieve grade-level performance and to improve self-esteem through two programs: 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. A professional teacher models a lesson, activity or project to a classroom of students. Volunteer tutors continue to work with the students on the lesson. One tutor works with two to four students.

History:
Founded in 1968, the GO Project is an academic assistance and social service organization dedicated to serving underprivileged, at-risk, elementary age public school students in Lower Manhattan. The GO Project's mission is to help these students performing below grade level to improve their academic foundation, to build self-esteem and to develop the skills necessary to achieve lasting success. The GO Project provides year-round intensive academic assistance, enrichment programs and a variety of social services through three programs: GO Summer, GO School, and GO Families.
