Great Oaks (GO) Americorps Fellows, placed at Achievement First, gain valuable professional and personal experience and acquire skills in civic-engagement, teamwork, and leadership during the service term.
The Great Oaks Foundation has partnered with Achievement First to provide placement opportunities for GO Americorps Fellows to serve students in need of support through high-dosage tutoring and mentoring.
GO FELLOWS WILL SUPPORT STUDENTS IN GRADES 5-8 IN ACHIEVEMENT FIRST’S HARTFORD, NEW HAVEN, AND BRIDGEPORT MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

Mission Statement
The GO Foundation is a non-profit organization with the mission of providing students with access to quality education through high-dosage tutoring. We are committed to combating racism.

Description
The mission of the GO Foundation is to provide students with access to a quality education through high-dosage tutoring. We envision an America where every child has the support of a tutor to enable them to realize their full potential.
At the GO Foundation, 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.
The GO Foundation invests in the vitality of the communities in which our schools operate and in building an organization that is representative of them. We are committed to combating racism. The GO Foundation intentionally recruits a diverse group of tutors who reflect the children we serve and fosters inclusive learning environments for all students and staff.
The GO Foundation invests in our Fellows’ own personal and professional development and invites a select group into a residency program to train them to become effective classroom teachers.
