Refurbishing Goodwill

In early 2017, this service started with the idea of teaching refurbishing skills to individuals with barriers and to reduce the number of pieces to be discarded. This program has exceeded expectations and is developing into a program teaching individuals safety training, assembly skills as well as basic skills to properly clean and refurbish furniture.

Youth Start

Goodwill Industries is committed to working with homeless/at-risk youth. Youth start is a program that is aimed at preventing vulnerable youth from becoming adults in our community that are unable to meet their basic needs and dropping out of school. Since its inception in 2009, 99% of homeless youth served have graduated from high school. Youth start applies a holistic approach that incorporates real paid work experiences, close collaboration with school personnel, and intensive coaching to increase the potential that youth graduate high school, seek post-secondary credentialing and continuing education while acquiring the tools and knowledge to achieve financial stability as adults.Youth Start is a partner in a larger coalition in Lenawee County looking to address a massive problem. 

Employment Training Services

This service focuses on placement of individuals with barriers into jobs within the community. It involves the cultivation of potential employers and the matching of individuals to those employers.

Skill building is offered in coordination with Lenawee Community Mental Health Authority (LCMHA), Employment training services focus on teaching the job and self sufficiency skills to individuals with barriers. The goal is to eventually transition these participants to external employers.

External employers provide opportunities for individuals facing barriers to employment through Goodwill, by allowing Goodwill skills trainers to work one on one with the individual for additional training.

Such employers include Country Market, Project Search through ProMedica, Walgreens, Chartwells Dining Hall at Sienna Heights College, Ritchie Dining Hall at Adrian College and many others.
