Our Mission

Our mission is to provide vocational and educational opportunities to eliminate barriers to employment, strengthen communities and help people in need reach their full potential through the power of work.

Our Vision

We envision a world where people have the opportunity to reach their highest potential. We believe that every individual has value and by recognizing that value, we can help them find their place in the community. In order to make this belief a reality, we will position ourselves as the premier provider of workforce services.

Our Values

We believe in the inherent value of work; work has greater value than charity. We believe that every individual has the right to be treated with dignity and respect. We value an environment that encourages the people we serve to reach their highest potential. We value social, financial, and environmental stewardship.

GOODWILL ® SUCCESS STORY

Thomas was a homeless Veteran who received a twenty-dollar clothing voucher for the Goodwill Retail Store. When he came in to shop for clothes, a Goodwill employee realized he was a Veteran in need and let him know about the Goodwill Mission Services Veterans program. This serendipitous moment changed his life.

Thomas had tried to find work but was never able to find sustainable employment. Transitioning into civilian life was not easy. He overcame opioid dependence brought on from numerous surgeries, but ultimately found himself unemployed, homeless, and hopeless.

Thomas worked with his Goodwill Case Manager and learned he could gain power over his life and get on a path toward self-sufficiency. He received resume writing assistance and interview practice and took financial literacy training. He also benefitted from the program’s supportive services, which relieved the financial burdens he faced. Thomas shared it was nice to have the support of the Goodwill team; always knowing there was someone by his side who truly cared made all the difference.

Always knowing there was someone by my side who truly cared made all the difference.”

Ultimately, the Goodwill Mission Services team helped Thomas get a job in his desired career as a counselor. Three years ago, he was a different person. Today, with a stable job and positive outlook on life, he’s on the road to being the best person he can be and enjoys giving back to others in need.
