The Good Samaritan Foundation Map It »	1317 8th Street NW Washington, DC, 20001 (202) 637-3580 Website
Description MISSION STATEMENT The mission of The Good Samaritan Foundation (GSF) is based on the strong commitment of its founders to "Prepare Youth for Leadership in the Community and the Workplace." This mission is achieved through the Student Training Opportunity Program (STOP), which provides youth with the environment needed to equip them with the skills, training and resources necessary to compete successfully in society. WHO WE ARE As you may know the foundation was launched in 1993 as the result of a vision imparted to our founders, Art Monk, Charles Mann, Tim Johnson and Earnest Byner. Since those early days, GSF piloted a program—which had been successful in Tallahassee, Florida—here in DC, called the Student Training Opportunity Program. This program was designed to provide inner-city youth with summer internships. We recruited a small number of students back then and provided them with job-related skill workshops during the year in preparation of their eight-week summer jobs. What we learned early on is that a large number of them were unable to participate in the summer program because they had to attend summer school. To ensure that our students, excelled during the school year, GSF added after-school tutoring and mentoring the following year. From the beginning our goal was to "Prepare Youth For Leadership in the Community and the Workplace." Today we are a year-around program, serving over fifty high school students, four days a week during the school year and five days a week during the summer. We use every opportunity afforded to us to impart love, wisdom and a nurturing environment for these young people to explore their talents, skills and to realize their dreams. This is no small undertaking, and often we face more obstacles than opportunities, but we have faith and feel commissioned to continue in our plight to serve the young people of DC. We hope you will continue to support our efforts.
