About GO and our Residency
The mission of the GO Foundation is to provide students with access to a quality education through high-dosage tutoring. We recruit, train, and support a corps of young adults who are placed in partner schools where they intensively tutor students as a part of a year of service through the federal AmeriCorps program. We call our tutors “Fellows” to encompass the several roles they play to instruct, mentor, and develop the students with whom they are matched. In the 2024-2025 school year, GO Fellows are serving in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and the District of Columbia.
The GO Teacher Residency program provides a pathway for Fellows to continue AmeriCorps service at their school, engage in student teaching through our gradual release model, and earn their certification through a higher education program, all while receiving ongoing professional development from the GO Foundation. At several of our longstanding partner schools, one-third to one-half of the teachers in the school began their careers as GO Fellows.
