About GOSO: Getting Out and Staying Out has a vision of a world where neither a person’s race nor their prior
contact with the legal system determines their future. To work toward that vision, we partner with young people
impacted by arrest or incarceration on a journey of education, employment, and emotional well-being. For many
of our participants, that journey begins while they are detained or incarcerated, on Rikers Island or in youth
detention centers. We work with all interested individuals, regardless of the charges that they face, engaging
them in future planning through programing focused on education, employment, and emotional well-being while
helping to meet their immediate needs, whether physical (warm clothing, commissary supplies), psychological
(correspondence and communication to help maintain links to the outside world), or legal (coordinating with
public defense attorneys on courtroom advocacy). Among the major programs that are under the GOSO umbrella
are Stand Against Violence East Harlem (SAVE), GOSOWorks, and multiple education programs (including
Pathways-to-Graduation, a high school equivalency program). GOSO served its participants and the Harlem
community throughout the Pandemic and, in fact, expanded its budget in the past few years. We are currently
building our external relations functions, including development, in order to position GOSO for continued growth
and expanded impact on those at the heart of our mission.
