Project Title: GO High-Impact Virtual Tutoring Program
Project Description:

Building on GO’s track record of success, and seizing the opportunity to meet ongoing demand while increasing geographic reach, impact, and access, GO Tutor Corps aims to launch its much-anticipated virtual tutoring initiative: GO Virtual. GO envisions an America where every child has the support of a tutor to enable them to realize their full human potential. GO’s evidence-based approach narrows the achievement gap by bridging the divide between what schools provide and what students need to thrive.

Through GO Virtual, connection will be fostered by strictly limiting online tutoring to a 2:1 or 1:1 student to tutor ratio, so each student receives extra personalized support and care. Over the next three years, GO will expand to serve 6,750 students in-person across seven regions through our established programming and 5,820 students virtually through a pilot program. The proposed grant will fuel the initial pilot to launch our virtual tutoring program expansion.

The proposed grant will meet the following goals in the first year:
* GO will recruit, train, and support 660+ Fellows in the United States over the grant period, who will provide 3520 students in Grades 6-12 (ages 11-18) with virtual tutoring in English Language Arts (ELA) or math.
* GO will measure a positive difference of at least 15 percentage points between students with a Fellow and students without a Fellow on a nationally-normed assessment.
* In partner schools with a schoolwide model, at least 65% of students will meet or exceed their annual growth target in ELA and/or math, as measured by a nationally normed assessment.
* 85% of students will report that their GO Fellow made it easier for them to understand their classwork.
* Students with a GO Fellow will be less likely to be chronically absent than those without a GO Fellow.
