About GO JC
Go Jersey City is an annual community event that brings together residents and neighbors from across Jersey City to serve, restore, and beautify meaningful spaces throughout the city. What began 11 years ago as a simple act of community care has grown into a citywide tradition centered around connection, service, and local pride.
Started by Wayne and Erin Burton of Downtown Community Church, Go Jersey City was created to inspire people to step outside their routines, meet new neighbors, discover new corners of the city, and make a lasting impact together. Each year, volunteers come together to support parks, schools, community spaces, and other historically significant locations that help shape the story and spirit of Jersey City.
More than just a day of service, Go Jersey City is a celebration of community - a chance to build friendships, create shared memories, and contribute to the vibrant heartbeat of Jersey City.
