About: Goodwill helps students understand the relevance of their education through career development, community engagement, and support with confident living. Goodwill Youth Services partners with 29 Denver Metro schools to help students achieve their dreams. We do this through teaching self awareness, employability, and post secondary options in a classroom setting. With additional support coming from our community volunteers who serve as guest speakers, mock interviewers and mentors to our students. Our Earn n Learn program works with community businesses to hire students for entry level jobs through high-level professional interns. Through our diverse programming, Goodwill tries to serve as the bridge between school and the world of work.
