Goodwill of Greater Detroit

Here at Goodwill of Greater Detroit, we build pathays to independence through personal development and the power of work. Founded in 1921, Goodwill Detroit has delivered best-in-class personal and workforce development programming to Metro Detroit 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 2 wholly-owned subsidiaries, Goodwill Integrated Solutions, a Tier 1 automotive assembly and kitting business, and Goodwill’s Green Works, providing asset recovery and industrial recycling services. 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 100 years.
