GO Public Schools
We envision a day when all schools prepare every child regardless of skin color, family income, home language, or neighborhood to succeed in our rapidly evolving world. At GO Public Schools, we amplify the work of families and their champions – educators, school leaders, community members, elected and appointed officials – to promote and advocate for the equitable public education of underserved students in California communities. Together, we hold systems and leaders accountable for the outcomes they create for students. At GO Advocates, we build and support a multi-city network of educational equity champions who work to dismantle systemic inequities imposed upon California’s most historically underserved students and their communities.
