More about this organization
Mission
Getting Out and Staying Out (GOSO) empowers young men to avoid involvement in the criminal justice system by reshaping their futures through educational achievement, meaningful employment, and financial independence. GOSO focuses on the individuals’ capacities and strengths, as well as developmental needs and emotional well-being. Our aim is to promote personal, professional, and intellectual growth through goal-oriented programming and comprehensive social support services.
About
In the 15 years since its founding, GOSO has served over 10,000 young men who have touchpoints with the criminal justice system, helping them to further their education, obtain meaningful employment, and achieve emotional well-being. During this time, GOSO participants have consistently maintained a recidivism rate under 15%, as compared to national average of 67% for the same demographic. In the last year, the recidivism rate among newly enrolled participants has been 3%. Since 2013, GOSOWorks, our employment development program, has placed over 600 participants in wage subsidized jobs. Seventy percent of participants who complete their placements earn full-time employment. GOSO's cost-per-participant is $7,500, which includes a wage subsidized job placement, as compared to the $302,296 per year it costs to detain or incarcerate someone on Rikers Island. In collaboration with the New York City Department of Education, GOSO hosts an on-site High School Equivalency program for our participants. In the last academic year, 13 participants earned their diplomas. We also provide on-site vocational training to our participants, including OSHA 30-Hour Construction and Security Guard training. This year, 150 participants earned a vocational certification at GOSO.
