Youth
Everyone should have the opportunity to achieve his or her dreams, including you.
If you are struggling in school or have dropped out, if you are heading in the wrong direction, or if you have a disability, Goodwill® can help you find a way to succeed.
We help you begin by building on your strengths and understanding your goals. Through the Goodwill GoodGuidesSM program and other youth services, we can help you figure out a career path, pair you up with a mentor, and offer ways to help you become independent.
How We Can Help

- We can help you complete high school or assist you in getting your General Educational Development (GED) certificate.
- We offer training in daily living skills to help you figure out how to live independently.
- We offer financial education, so you can develop or improve your money management skills.
