MAKING PURPOSEFUL EMPLOYMENT POSSIBLE FOR ALL

Making Our Mission Possible

We Believe Everyone Is Worthy

At Goodwill, we are dedicated to redefining inclusion in the workplace. By offering programs designed to inspire confidence, strengthen abilities, and support the journey toward greater independence, we are changing the lives of central Iowans each and every day.

Our Impact: Overcoming Barriers, Building Confidence & Changing Lives

Our programs are designed to meet individuals at any point in their employment journey, developing the necessary skills to flourish in the workplace. We partner with individuals and their care teams to develop strong work habits, build their community and encourage their success.

In 2022, we provided over 1,400 individuals with employment services or trainings.

Individuals served have an average of five barriers to employment, including lack of transportation, intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, mental illness and/or low-income status.

In 2022, we provided on-site coaching at more than 70 central Iowa business locations.

Help Us Continue to Change Lives by Supporting Our Mission

As a non-profit organization, we rely on the generous support of our community members to fund our programs. Through this collaboration, we are making purposeful employment possible for all people in central Iowa, because we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to find greater independence through the power of employment – no matter what.
