About Goodwill |
Goodwill Industries is a network of over 200 community-based, autonomous member organizations worldwide that serves people with workplace disadvantages and disabilities by providing job training and employment services. Direction for each agency is provided by a local Board of Directors, which is made up of volunteers from the community, with programs designed by professional staff members to meet the needs of both the individuals receiving services and the community. In addition, Goodwill has been a member of the United Way since 1977; and, prior to that, a member of the Community Chest. |
