Goodwill Industries of South Central Ohio is a nonprofit organization that exists for one purpose: to eliminate barriers to opportunity and help people in need reach their full potential through learning and the power of work. For more than a century, Goodwill has worked in communities to help people with disabilities, disadvantages and anyone facing challenges to finding employment including youth, seniors, veterans, immigrants, and people with other specialized needs totaling 6.7 million people last year (total of all Goodwill organizations world round). Every 33 seconds of every business day, someone gets a job with Goodwill’s help.
It’s become our philosophy that it is no longer sufficient to offer job training alone; we must provide holistic, family strengthening programs. We are always working to to strengthen our commitment to family strengthening throughout all levels of our organization by allocating more financial resources toward programs that support families, and working with community partners to provide a wider array of services for families.
