Goodwill Industries of Greater Detroit

Here at Goodwill Detroit, we are committed to co-creating independence and dignity through the power of personal and workforce development. Founded in 1921, Goodwill Detroit has delivered best-in-class personal and workforce development programming to Metro Detroit veterans, returning citizens, youth, and residents who have been chronically under or unemployed, and those living with mental illness or intellectual/developmental disability. What many people don't know about us, is we have a long and successful history with social entrepreneurship outside of our fabled thrift stores. We operate Goodwill Integrated Solutions, a Tier 1 automotive assembly and kitting business and Goodwill’s Green Works, a wholly-owned subsidiary engaged in industrial recycling.We use these businesses to generate profits that may be reinvested in the mission of the organization, long-term employment opportunities for trainees with significant employment challenges, and transitional work experience for trainees needing time on-the-job before transitioning to competitive employment. There is a lot of good going on here!Employment is more than a paycheck - it's a resounding victory: for the individual, for their family, for their community. When jobs thrive, communities thrive. We know this because we've seen and celebrated it here for nearly a century.
