The GO Foundation runs the GO Fellowship, an AmeriCorps national service program providing students in grades 3-12 with high-dosage tutoring in ELA and/or math and near-peer mentoring in an embedded model – from morning arrival through the end of the school day. Our tutors (“GO Fellows”) are typically recent college or high school graduates serving as AmeriCorps members who are trained to provide a year of hands-on service in schools. GO Fellows, who undergo a rigorous selection process, develop the communities they serve, mentor for leadership, and instruct for mastery. GO Foundation currently serves in district and charter schools in CT, DC, Newark NJ, and New York City.
GO Foundation has three key goals.
1. Improving literacy and math achievement for students served. Unlike most tutorial models, the GO Fellowship is designed to integrate fully into schools. Across GO program sties, 9 out of 10 teachers report that Fellows improve student learning.
2. Building school community. GO Fellows act as near-peer mentors and help students grow their social and emotional skills. Most program sites create additional mentoring opportunities through sports teams, clubs, affinity groups, and/or advisory groups that GO Fellows co-facilitate with teachers and other site staff. Additionally, GO Fellows often support the development and execution of extracurricular activities, after-school programs, and enrichment initiatives that complement student and school culture.
3. Increasing representation in the classroom. GO strives to recruit Fellows who represent the communities in which we serve. Nearly two-thirds of GO Fellows are people of color and their life experiences often mirror those of their students. To attract much-needed talent to the educational sector, promising Fellows who are interested in teaching are selected for a Teacher Residency program.
Fraction Face-Off! (FFO!) is a small-group systematic, structured tutoring program designed to promote knowledge of fractions to 4th grade students. FFO! emphasizes the three domains listed below:
- Understanding fraction magnitude, including comparing, ordering, and placing fractions on number lines, and fraction equivalencies;
- Fraction calculations, including an understanding of the operations and executing the operations;
- Fraction word problems to contextualize fractions as numbers in everyday contexts and strengthen fraction magnitude understanding.
FMP or Freshman Mentoring Program helps freshman adapt and feel more comfortable with the high school experience. Mentoring consists of helping with note-taking and studying strategies. Our tutors work with freshmen directly and as a group to guide them with whatever they need. Not only will the tutors provide guidance, but they help with academics as well. All tutors have gone through freshman year already and are on advanced paths, granting all tutors the ability to help freshmen with any classwork/homework they are struggling with.
Future Forward is an early literacy intervention that provides individualized one-on-one tutoring and family engagement for kindergarten through 3rd grade struggling readers. The program is traditionally implemented embedded in schools, though we have piloted both virtual and hybrid implementation models for distance intervention (please note: These models have not yet been rigorously evaluated).
We provide a tutoring program for grades K-3, using recorded reading lessons that engage the learner in the workbook following the directions of the teacher to follow the presentation. There are 350+ video lessons organized in an LMS (Learning Management System). An onsite reading coach or tutor/mentor then reviews the workbook for completion and checks the student's understanding confidence in reading the exercises in the lesson. The program facilitates the student moving at their own pace, lessons are available 24-7, tutoring sessions are designed to review several completed lessons with the student.
We work with schools and educational organizations to provide tutoring content in an after school environment and in summer reading programs. We have training for tutor/mentors and can be in person to help launch a reading program.
Galaxy Math is a small-group systematic tutoring programs that teach students to identify, write, and count numbers, understand magnitude and place value, use <, >, and + signs. The programs provide instruction for students to become competent with efficient counting strategies to solve arithmetic problems by practicing skip counting by 10s, 5s, and 2s, identifying operations, writing addition and subtraction sentences, performing two-digit addition and subtraction, and identifying missing addends.
Students are referred to GO based on academic and financial needs. Students are paired with a private tutor at no cost and begin a journey together that will last through middle school. Every student receives two, one-hour sessions per week over 30 weeks— resulting in 60 additional hours of individualized academic support and care in a safe and nurturing after-school environment. Tutoring takes place on-site, at the child's school, allowing a smooth end-of-day transition for students. The consistency and support provided change a child's academic trajectory in profound ways.
Additional academic and social-emotional support from a safe, stable, and reliable role model is critical for the future of our most vulnerable students.
GO Tutors meet with classroom teachers at the start of the year to set learning goals for their students. They observe students in the classroom and attend curriculum nights and parent-teacher conferences. This individualized system of support ensures the child's academic needs are met.
In addition to one-on-one tutoring, GO tutors serve as mentors. They are a bridge between home and school, partnering with parents and caregivers to provide enrichment opportunities for the family. Whether tickets to a play, a sporting event, visiting a museum, or receiving sponsorship for swimming or music lessons, this added level of trust, support, and opportunity transform students' feelings about school, their community, and life.
GO worked in partnership with the Ithaca City School District Bus Department until 2019, when the pandemic turned our world inside out. For 14 years, GO students were transported home at the end of their tutoring session, providing a smooth end-of-day transition for students whose families have little to no access to transportation. When ICSD suspended bus service, GO found creative ways to ensure students could continue tutoring after school and on-site, including membership with a local nonprofit organization, Ithaca Carshare. GO received emergency grant funds to cover the cost of transportation, and many tutors drove students home following their tutoring sessions.
Three years into the pandemic, GO continues to face transportation challenges. This year, several ICSD after-school programs have agreed to accept GO students into their programs at no cost, and many students will participate in a brand new initiative called The GO Club. Centrally located at BJM Elementary, The GO Club will be home to children from six elementary schools, allowing them to broaden their peer groups while building social skills in a cooperative learning environment. The ICSD bus department will once again provide the necessary transportation for GO students.

The Ignite! Reading program is typically implemented during the independent reading portion of a school’s literacy block or during a designated intervention period. Students receive 15 minutes per day of one-on-one instruction over Zoom from a highly-trained remote tutor. By leveraging Zoom we are able to both ensure that tutors are implementing the curriculum with fidelity and eliminate the traditional challenges of ensuring enough tutors are available at the time and place they are needed. School partners are responsible for ensuring that students show up on time for their tutoring sessions each day. Ignite! Reading serves students in K-5 and provides school partners with baseline and ongoing progress monitoring data.
