Our Mission of
Putting Good to Work
Through our four buckets of impact below, we’ve supported thousands of individuals by helping people build skills, continue their education and secure meaningful employment.
Learn
GoodGRADS provides education services and case management for adults interested in attaining their GED®/HSE. Our Excel Center offers adults at any age the opportunity to earn their high school diploma and workforce credentials.
Earn
Goodwill’s workforce development programs include Clean Energy programs that help you get into skilled trades, as well as our Veterans programs that support those who served. Our partnership with The Workforce Connection serves individuals through career centers, training, and employment.
Re-Enter
Our youth re-entry programs serve 16-24 year olds with justice system involvement and provides intensive case management services, work experience, employment readiness and support services. Our adult re-entry program serves individuals 18+.
Overcome
Goodwill’s Supported Employment (SEP) programs serve participants with disabilities by providing a supportive work environment and job coach. Our Veterans programs provide the resources and tools necessary to secure employment.
Thrift smarter.
Live greener.
Sales of everything from lightly used clothing to computers, housewares to handbags, books to boots, and toys for tots, help generate the revenue that powers our programs.
