About GO Tutor Corps

The mission of the GO Tutor Corps (GO) is to provide students with access to a quality education through high‑dosage tutoring. We recruit, train, and support a corps of young adults who are placed in partner schools where they intensively tutor students as part of a year of service through the federal Ameri Corps program. We call our tutors “Fellows” to encompass the several roles they play to instruct, mentor, and develop the students with whom they are matched.

In the 2026‑27 school year, Fellows will be serving over 4,000 students in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Washington, DC, and Virginia. To learn more about the organization: (Use the "Apply for this Job" box below)./

GO is growing, and keeping our program running well requires someone who is highly organized, proactive, and skilled at seeing complex processes through to completion. The Grants and Operations Manager will drive two core functions: managing the end-to-end onboarding and compliance process for 100+ Fellows, and supporting grants compliance across GO’s portfolio of funders, including Ameri Corps. This role takes ownership of a process, follows up relentlessly, maintains accurate systems, and flags problems before they become crises.

Prior Ameri Corps experience is essential.
