At GOSO, we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to grow beyond their circumstances and build a brighter future. Staff members like Claudia remind us that showing up, listening without judgement, and following through can make all the difference.

GOSO’s Action Board, professionals dedicated to advocating for our participants, hosted their 2nd annual game night. This year, we made it spooky! 🎃 👻 A perfect way to kick off Halloween week and come together for fun, games, yummy snacks, and some classic competitive energy.

Today at GOSO, our participants connected with successful professionals in the entertainment industry who shared their journeys and how they got where they are today. We had inspiring conversations about how to make a meaningful impact doing what you love.

Restorative Justice has made a lasting footprint in GOSO programming! This month we celebrate the completion of our 7th Junior Circle Keepers (JCK) cohort, a space where our young people come together to share, listen, and work through their feelings. 1/3

This cohort made strides in building relationships, growing comfortable with one another and practicing active listening. One habit they built: Responding to a peer's share w/ a simple "Thank you for sharing" instead of jumping in with advice. Small practice, big impact. 💛 2/3

Our participants have been celebrating the diversity in the Hispanic community; learning about trailblazers like Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and building their very own bodega right here at GOSO. From food to family, culture, community — there's much to celebrate! 2/2

"It's one of those shows where the more you talk about it and reflect on what was being said, the more you appreciate it. It sparked some great conversations and gave our young people something meaningful to think about." — Pat, Program Manager

How do you make New York better? 🗽We spoke with recent ABNY Foundation grantees at our Spirit of ABNY Awards to hear how funding raised from the evening helped them make an impact in their community thanks to the ABNY Foundation's grantmaking program.
