Overview
GO Tutor Corps is a non-profit that prepares students for college success through high-dosage tutoring delivered by a cohort of recent graduates. The GO Fellowship assigns a selective group of fellows who provide at least two hours of one-on-one instruction to every student each day in partner schools. The program operates in Newark, NJ; Bridgeport, CT; Boston, MA; New York, NY; and Washington, D.C., with school partnerships helping to attract social, human, and investment capital to neighborhoods. The goal is to raise college readiness and access by providing sustained, intensive academic support that helps students graduate high school prepared for college and strengthens communities through school partnerships.
