Employment & Economic GrowthFundraising goal: $16,250
Work can change lives—providing shelter, food, better mental health, and self-confidence. It can uplift families and break cycles of poverty. At Goodwill, we offer “a hand up” to those facing barriers to finding work like newcomers, racialized individuals, youth, and people with disabilities. We help newcomers with their resume and job search, support neurodiverse youth in securing their first job, train laid-off workers with new skills, and help job-seekers with anxiety prepare for interviews and settle into work. With donor support, we can expand services to help more people, especially those most disadvantaged so they can enter or re-enter the workforce. This matters because when more people work and thrive, our community gets stronger.
