GATEWAY COMMUNITY OUTREACH INC

GCO operates several programs onsite and in the local community, to engage children, youth, and adults from all backgrounds.

The Duck Pond Playspace, winner of Hulafrog's Most Loved Award in 2015 & 2017, is an indoor and outdoor playspace for families with children 5 and under! At the Duck Pond, children develop interactive skills necessary for personal growth while parents have the opportunity to connect with other parents.

Partnering with the City of San Jose, GCO supported Mayor Sam Liccardo's All the Way Home Campaign in housing over 500 homeless veterans and providing hygiene kits for over 100 newly housed veterans.

GCO's Neighborhood Outreach initiative supports the local community through a weekly children's program, parenting groups, ESL classes, a sports program, and more!

GCO's Tae Kwon Do program teaches students respect, self-discipline, and anti-bullying, all while having a fun workout with friends!

GCO seeks justice through its Racial Reconciliation and Anti-Human Trafficking initiatives. Our Racial Reconciliation forums seek to educate, equip, and empower people to be effective advocates for racial reconciliation within their own spheres of influence. Through partners such as The Nest and Love Never Fails, GCO provides welcome kit items to women living in these rehabilitation shelters.

Finally, GCO's giving program, GateWay Gives, hosts four scheduled drives throughout the year, providing items to targeted populations such as backpacks for students and Christmas gifts for families.

GCO is continually growing and developing new programs to adopt the pain in our community. Future areas of growth include programs for older adults, behavioral health, and the creative arts.
