My life will amount to
something... Sam Peebles YouthBuild Student
GOODWILL OF THE OLYMPICS & RAINIER REGION 2017 ANNUAL REPORT
SAM Sam Peebles YouthBuild Student
SAM shares his thoughts About life, construction and YouthBuild community service
A
s a human we have 6 basic needs: certainty, variety, significance, love/ connection, growth, and contribution. Before I found YouthBuild I had been lacking these needs to the point where things didn’t really matter anymore. I had recently been released from juvenile prison for the second time in two years. In early 2017, at 17 years of age, I saw my life as set in stone. My plan at the time was to just give up and go back to doing crimes, end up in prison for the rest of my life, …or just die. I had only truly met my parents when I was 11 -- and when I did my dad ended up dying and my mom got heavy into drugs and I never really had support. After moving to Tacoma while I was still on parole, my officer told me I needed to get a job or do something productive. When I mentioned that I liked construction, he told me about YouthBuild at Goodwill. I still remember the first day of class, every teacher had a smile on their face and made me feel comfortable. It didn’t even take a month when I was certain what I wanted to do - I wanted to be in construction.
In YouthBuild my teachers are very patient and they make sure you actually know what you are doing. They are also supportive of my goals and always strengthen us even when giving constructive criticism. And they do this in a way that helps us to better adjust to a work environment. I can talk about anything without being judged and I’m reminded when I’m sidetracked or unprofessional. I also have a phenomenal instructor in the GED room and the staff as a whole make you feel that your construction work is also helping and making a difference in the community. The support I’ve been given shows me that my life will amount to something and I can contribute to society instead of hindering it. Now I’m starting to think about what I can accomplish in a year, five years, ten years. YouthBuild has shown me that my personal afflictions and my past are just that, the past. They help you focus on the future and show you one that’s obtainable and sustainable. I’m happy with myself and I see a better life because of YouthBuild.
At Goodwill, helping people improve their lives through the power of work is at the heart of what we do every day. The individuals highlighted in this year’s report are a testament to what people can achieve through their own dedication and perseverance, supported by the compassionate team of professionals at Goodwill. This past year has been one of challenges and exciting new opportunities. The retail industry continued to evolve and change as did the needs of our program participants and the employers in our communities. Under the leadership of our new CEO, Lori Forte Harnick, we increased efforts to deepen our mission services, customized job training programs based on employer need and implemented new processes and efficiencies to ensure future retail operations success and long-term financial stability. Ultimately, the purpose of our efforts is to better serve our clients. With a diverse portfolio of job training programs and educational services, we served more than 9,400 individuals in 2017 – from at-risk youth to single parent families to seniors, all in need of new skills to enter or re-enter the workforce. The community support we receive is crucial to our success. Thank you for your confidence and partnerships. Ahead lies an exciting future. Together, we will continue to provide a gateway for opportunity and success for all the people we serve.

FOUNDATIONS & CAREER GATEWAYS Beyond our core mission of providing job training and placement services as well as crucial life skills and case management support, we are intensifying efforts to offer our vulnerable populations gateways to career paths and a self-sufficient quality of life. Single parents, struggling families, transitioning military and veterans, seniors, and at-risk youth are entering programs designed to produce competitive and qualified graduates. This includes providing more resources to our own Goodwill employees to prepare them for greater career opportunities into the future. Susanna Rink, profiled in this report, epitomizes the dedicated spirit of our staff, determined to reach her potential and become a leader. It also includes a foundational partnership developed this year with the United Way of Pierce County and its Center for Strong Families. Thanks to UWPC funding, in 2017 we delivered a range of financial education and coaching services to help more than 100 clients improve their family incomes, credit scores
and savings. We will continue in 2018 to help even more asset- and income-constrained families attain financial stability. An example of our gatewayto-careers approach is our YouthBuild construction and GED program for people ages 18-24. As baby boomers retire, we are seeing an increasing number of $20 - $25/hour entry-level positions with opportunities for rapid advancement and our Washington construction industry is partnering with us to train a new workforce of young adults. This year we added homeless unit construction with electrical and plumbing into our curriculum. And thanks to Habitat for Humanity, our end-of-course training includes single-family home construction. In 2017, YouthBuild served 35 youth, with 61% of our students placed in employment or postsecondary continuing education. Challenges overcome by our YouthBuild students are truly inspiring, as Sam Peebles moving personal story attests.

DEEPENING SERVICES & IMPACT We are also refining a two generation approach to aid single mothers with young children. Our Women 2 Work program, funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, supports both mother and child to guide the entire family on a path to well-being and financial security. In 2017, our community partners worked with us to touch the lives of 72 mothers with family strengthening skills, job training, career path development and sustained employment. Our CULINARY SKILLS program now offers “Rising Chefs’ Dinners,” to showcase the skills of pending graduates to restaurant and food service employers. Our story featuring Yulie Reyes illustrates the value of this innovation, as Yulie received multiple job offers following our first

dinner. Success with this initiative now has us replicating the approach with our YOUTH BARISTA PROGRAM in 2018. Innovation in our career training continued in Longview this year as our team developed a work-based apprenticeship model that combines employer-tailored on-the-job training and mentoring with Goodwill classroom learning and certification. Two examples spotlighted in this report are a six-month employer-funded pilot with NORPAC and a 10-week program with Northwest Motors Sales and Service.
keepING pace with retail & recycle MARKETS Along with deepening our mission services, we are adjusting to market forces affecting the retail, recycle and salvage industry sectors. In retail, our strategy continues to keep pace with both the online and brick and mortar shopping habits of consumers. To expand our customer base and reach, we continue to refine “Shopgoodwill.com,” our national online thrift portal. In 2017, online sales increased by 12%, thanks in part to an improved user interface with easy smartphone/tablet access and a keyword personal cyber shopper feature.
online sales has grown by
32% over the last three years
In our stores, we are improving customer service and enhancing the quality and quantity of products for our value conscious and price sensitive shoppers. We are also developing ways to attract new customers to the world of thrift – such as our interactive Halloween retail experience. We have made
86
million pounds of donated goods were kept out of landfills through recycling and repurposing in 2017 more merchandise available as a result of improving management of inventory and flow of goods from the donation door to the retail floor. Developing new initiatives to increase the quantity and quality of our donations has made an impact as retail revenue grew to nearly $71 million in 2017. On the heels of improvement in our retail operations, we streamlined our salvage and recycle business to manage donations in too poor a condition to sell. While a global decline in the recycle and salvage market has reduced revenue potential, we are committed to recycling and being good stewards of the environment. Through recycling and repurposing, we were able to keep 86 million pounds of household goods out of landfills in 2017. 5
staying ahead of growing commun Just as the retail environment is evolving, the funding landscape for workforce development and human services is changing as well. Now more than ever, the relationships that we develop within our community will have a tremendous impact on our efforts to provide job training and educational opportunities. Whether it’s customers in our stores rounding their purchase up to the next dollar, corporate partners awarding us grants, or individual donors who view a contribution as an investment in the future, Goodwill appreciates the critical role that our community partners will play in the future delivery of our mission. In 2018, we will be strengthening these relationships by inviting our supporters and the community to join us for a deeper dive into the Goodwill mission and how we do what we do. Through a series of experiential events, we will showcase our programs and the relationships formed between Goodwill skills trainers and students in our
6
programs. These include the “Through Our Clients’ Eyes” donor experience and “Pick Your Passion” events such as our “Rising Chefs’ Dinners,” and competitive “Coffee Throw-Downs”. These, in combination with our popular private shopping events at our Blue Boutiques and our Milgard Work Opportunity Center tours, offer unique opportunities to see our mission come alive and experience firsthand the impact that your support has on our community and those we serve.

SUSANNA Susanna Rink South Lacey Store Manager
discovering a passion for thrift and leadership As a young adult, Susanna Rink avoided thrift stores. “When my parents took us on a trip we had to stop at every thrift store along the way and as a kid, that gets really old,” said Rink. “So I hadn’t been in a thrift store for decades when I walked into Goodwill one day back in 2009 looking for a fish tank. And before long I was chatting with the assistant manager.” Susanna had just left her job at Pizza Hut and wanted a new direction. Moving away from home and taking an entry level job at sixteen meant no time for a high school diploma and college. She learned however that Goodwill would offer employment and a career path even with her situation - and in a career field that she had always wanted. “I filled out the application and they called me back and hired me as a cashier. Immediately my parents were vindicated and I wondered if mom knew all along, because by my second or third day, I didn’t want to do anything else.“
supervisor that first year. After stints at several Goodwill locations, she was promoted to production assistant manager in Yelm in 2012, and finally this year to store manager at the South Lacey location. “I love working in thrift because you have to be creative, it’s not like regular retail with a pre-set pallet of goods. All the unique items you see every day are amazing. The work you put in to showcase inventory you automatically see in sales and that is really gratifying.” But she most enjoys the people who come to work in her store. “You get to change people’s lives by offering them a job and giving them skills. Even people unaccustomed to a normal workplace, we can give them social skills, conflict resolution skills, along with job skills like learning how to be cashier. “Seeing the life you can change by offering somebody a job, an opportunity, then making somebody successful - this is the work I am most passionate about.”
Susanna started working every position in thrift retail, advancing to

ANITA Anita Davis Tacoma Public Schools
Anita Davis is a single mother
helping to raise a grandson with special needs. Seven years ago her life turned upside down when she was diagnosed with a vocal disorder and could no longer work as a receptionist, a job she loved. “I thought, what could I do where I didn’t have to use my voice as much,” said Davis. “I looked around at a number of different resources and finally enrolled in Goodwill’s culinary school. Cooking was something I enjoyed and Goodwill’s program taught culinary skills, and you worked for four and a half months getting experience in a real restaurant.”
“Goodwill goes beyond job training, they make a person feel proud that even though you may have a disorder, you can still find a way to do the job.” Anita’s image is featured in the Tacoma Public Schools community ad on the back of several Goodwill trailers.
Today, thanks to her training and perseverance, Anita works in food services at Stewart Middle School in Tacoma.

YULIE Ayulieth Reyes
Culinary Skills Program Graduate
A stepping stone to HER own business
“Yulie” (Ayulieth) Reyes has a
passion to one day own her own traditional Mexican restaurant. Her journey began with her father’s passion for cooking and became a lifelong goal at fifteen when she and her mother transformed an old theater in her hometown of Tzitzuntzan Mexico into the tiny “Blue Moon Café.” After moving to America with her own family, Yulie’s dream led her to Jack in the Box, then Puerto Vallarta Mexican Restaurant in Puyallup, soaking up each business while working as a table busser, cashier, bartender and finally bar manager. But the more she learned, the more Yulie realized she had a long way to go to owning and running a successful restaurant. Then she saw a Craigslist ad for Goodwill’s Culinary Skills program. “When I looked at the program at Goodwill I realized they had the full bundle, a way to continue my overall education,” said Reyes. “At Goodwill’s Neighborhood Bistro I could push myself and afford to make mistakes – like the time I ruined all the cookies for the day! Instead of losing my job like at a restaurant, I was able to grow from that mistake.” What impressed Yulie the most was the personalized mentoring and
12
breadth of training offered by the program. “Goodwill culinary trainers Jeff and Kendra teach restaurant management by example, giving you a look at a different kind of boss -- one I want to be someday. Among other things, I learned the front and back end of the business, how to not waste money, how to work with and treat employees and customers, and how to organize a kitchen.” Yulie’s crowning achievement in the program was her performance at the “Rising Chefs’ Dinner,” a job placement showcase where area restaurants are invited to a five-course student dining experience. The night led to interviews at Pacific Grill and Emerald Queen Casino, and ultimately a position as pastry chef with El Gaucho in Tacoma. Now Yulie has nothing but incredible things to say about her new life with El Gaucho and Executive Chef Jesus Boites. “Jesus has shown me there is so much more to learn, so for my career, I am very grateful to work at such an amazing place. My husband Giovanni and kids Franco and Ernesto are also supporting me every step of the way, so one day I hope to give my kids another “Blue Moon Café!”

GROWING OUR SERVICE TO THE LONGVIEW COMMUNITY Goodwill’s growing Work Opportunity Center of Cowlitz County embarked on a number of initiatives in 2017 designed to develop meaningful career paths for individuals. The focus was on developing wrap-around services tailored to each participant and working closely with the local business community to develop training programs that meets the needs of an ever changing labor market. Specific efforts included the creation of a GED completion program that serves as a first step of a three-part series of services teaching soft skills as well as technical skills and certifications needed to pursue living wage employment. In 2017, Longview staff helped 57 young adults complete their GED requirements. Partnering with local businesses resulted in the creation of two work-based learning pilots combining job training and mentoring with classroom learning and certification. These customized programs included a 10-week pilot with Northwest Motor Service and a 6-month pilot with independent paper company, NORPAC. 15 young adults were part of these pilots and 94% gained employment or enrolled in post-secondary education at the conclusion of the pilots. Jessica White, a young mother without a high school diploma, was having trouble finding full-time employment. She entered the program with Northwest Motor Service, obtained her GED and earned certifications for Forklift, OSHA10, CPR/Financial Aid and Money Smart. Thanks to the program and the experience she gained, she was offered a full-time job with Northwest Motor Service. 15

LEO Leo Gruba Operation GoodJobs
honoring our veterans Growing up in a Navy household, Leo Gruba knew that someday he’d follow his father into the military. In his junior year of high school, he did just that - enlisting in the Army and finding himself at Basic Training. “While my friends were mopping floors at burger joints, I was the newest fledgling entry into the world’s greatest military,” Gruba said. “Many years and deployments later, I realized my true reason for joining - the sacrifices I witnessed of others throughout my life needed to be honored and remembered.” As Leo transitioned out of the military in 2015, he realized that nothing would likely ever top his Army career – but to come close, he would need help with his new life. Combining advice from family, friends and a tip from the military during out processing, he found Goodwill’s Operation GoodJobs in Tacoma. The program, supported generously by Wells Fargo and Boeing and in partnership with Joint Base Lewis-McChord, offers moral support and development of employment skills—all things Leo would need to bridge into civilian life. “Operation GoodJobs provided a network of fellow veterans that helped me to find my next ‘mission’ in life,” said Leo. “It offered the comfort of knowing that I had friends and teammates that weren’t going to let me fail. When things initially didn’t
pan out in the corporate sector, program staff were always there to re-analyze my needs, review my resumes, and help me market to employers the dedicated and determined employee that I had become thanks to military service. They helped me to bring the best of what I had to offer to an organization.” Like many other Operation GoodJobs participants, Leo learned that the skills he took for granted in the military are valued assets in the civilian workplace, including leadership skills, being on time, throwing everything you have at a task and being steadfastly loyal to the team or organization. Today, Leo is a leader in the civilian sector helping his fellow veterans through the headquarters of the American Legion Department in Washington State. In his capacity as Adjutant, he serves in the top executive position and continues his passion for honoring and assisting others who have served. Now every day he assists veterans with their service-connected disability claims, helps veteran families find temporary financial assistance, and raises awareness about the needs of veteran families in Washington.
