GO Project history
GO Project company history timeline
Since 1968, GO’s year-round out-of-school time student and family support programs have equipped thousands of children with the confidence and skills needed to make academic gains, enroll in high-performing middle and high schools, graduate on time, and achieve college success.
In 1968, members of Grace Church and Grace Church School in the East Village joined together to solve a problem.

In 1991 students from Rosedale School began a recycling work internship at Concordia University (then Concordia College). The program grew, with students staying after their work for the day was completed, and eating lunch in the Concordia cafeteria.
