Time Off
Goodwill treats me very well. I participated in a Goodwill vocational rehabilitation program, and was hired at Goodwill full-time. I have been working for the company for almost ten years.
I love helping customers and coworkers out at work. My employer knows that I have a disability and is appreciative of my work skills. They have me do work where my strengths are.
Goodwill gave me my first job in the United States. I can support my family back home in a safer environment. I’m grateful for the opportunity.
Being certified opened up new opportunities for me, which allowed me to explore other possibilities within the state. It’s a totally different role, this is much more outreach. Just getting to interact with so many more people has been exciting.
THE PEOPLE WE SERVE
DEI STRATEGIC PILLARS
Our employees help build a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion that permeates all areas of our work. A DEI Council with staff members from across the organization shares educational opportunities, conducts listening sessions and hosts spaces for people to be their authentic selves. We also have a staff team that proactively discusses accessibility/identifies areas to improve.
