Whether you volunteer, donate or shop at Goodwill, you are putting in motion a whole series of earth friendly activities. For 90 years, our organization has mirrored a “triple bottom line” or the ability to make a profit, use these profits to help underserved populations and help green our community.
Annually, Goodwill Industries of Denver keeps nearly 50 million pounds of goods out of our community’s landfills. Profits from our 18 retail stores across the Front Range support our goal of ensuring metro Denver and northern Colorado has an empowered, educated and employed workforce.
Goodwill reaches out to our community’s most underserved populations including at-risk youth, the disabled and disadvantaged adults.
Youth: By partnering with 26 high schools, Goodwill employs teachers in the classroom to help youth formulate a plan for after high school. Our proven curriculum gets youth to think about their future in terms of a career, higher education or both.
Adults: Our award winning programs in Adams and Arapahoe County help adults with challenging backgrounds get back on track. We work with participants to get a job, get a better job and finally a rewarding career.
Disabled individuals: Goodwill provides disabled employees rewarding work opportunities. Work generally consists of light assembly for organizations like Steve Spangler Science and Dawn Industries or enclave work out in the community.
