Thank you to everyone who was part of GO Jersey City 2026! We look forward to serving with you at the next one!

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.

Organized and funded by Downtown Community Church, it is a reflection of our love for God and for the city. It 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.

It is a celebration of community, a chance to build friendships, create shared memories, and contribute to the vibrant heartbeat of Jersey City.

Projects 2026

Sgt. Anthony Park is a small but beloved community park in Jersey City, maintained entirely by neighborhood volunteers. This year's projects will include painting paw prints that lead to the dog park 🐾, fixing the raised bed frames in the community garden 🪴, repainting the park benches, and doing general gardening throughout the park.

We all meet at City Hall, and transportation for the whole team is provided to the Park and the after-party.

This year's projects at New City Kids are bigger and more meaningful than ever! New City Kids is moving into a brand-new space this summer, and we're helping make it happen! We'll be building custom rolling storage, packing, painting, power washing, and doing light gardening. And for everyone who grew up obsessed with LEGOs, we've got a special treat: we're taking apart and reassembling a shed from scratch.

New City Kids is a Jersey City youth development organization with over 30 years of experience, providing after-school programs, music classes, college prep, and community care to the young people who need it most.

We meet together at City Hall, and transportation to New City Kids and the after-party is all provided for you.
