In 2005 Syracuse University formed a community partnership with the Good Samaritan Foundation founded by former Redskins Art Monk (SU ’80), Charles Mann, Earnest Byner and Tim Johnson. The program provides after-school tutoring, leadership development, workplace readiness training and community service opportunities for nearly 50 students from Anacostia High School and the IDEA Public Charter School. More than 20 students who graduated from the program are attending college. SU is providing university and alumni resources to assist GSF in preparing youth for leadership in the community and the workplace.
