GOODWILL INDUSTRIES


OF SOUTHWESTERN MICHIGAN

WE BELIEVE IN PEOPLE. POSITIVITY. SUCCESS. COLLABORATION.

What Do We Do?



A PATHWAY TO A CAREER IN CHILDCARE!




A PAID APPRENTICESHIP FOR A NEW CAREER!

Are you interested in a career in childcare where you can help families and
children learn? Goodwill Industries of Southwestern Michigan is partnering with
YWCA Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo Literacy Council, Southwest Child Care Resources, and
several other agencies to provide a career pathway for you!


AS A PROGRAM PARTICIPANT YOU WILL RECEIVE:

 * An individual plan to help you reach your goals
 * Professional development to help you gain and improve your skills
 * Academic and tutoring support to help you complete the program

 

The Edison Early Childhood Education Career Pathway is a great way for you to
get started on your path to a career in childcare. A major part of this program
is a full-time, paid, eight-month apprenticeship, which will result in a
Childcare Development Associate (CDA) and employment as an Early Learning
Professional at the Edison Children’s Center. YWCA will begin training staff as
they are hired with CDA training beginning in April 2021.

Goodwill is proud to play an important part in helping you make progress toward
achieving your career and academic goals. If you need help with earning a GED or
some additional tutoring to prepare you for the Early Childhood Education
apprenticeship process or connect you to other jobs, Goodwill’s Adult Education
and Training Program, along with Kalamazoo Literacy Council, can help. All
services are free.

Learn more about this exciting program where you can get paid to complete your
training and work in this exciting career.

Get started today!

ENDING POVERTY THROUGH LIFE GUIDES.

Our mission is to improve the community and help families escape poverty. The
main components of this are employment, education, job training, and support
services. Escaping poverty is no easy task, so we designed a program to
help. Life Guides is a 20 year commitment to families that want a better life.
Team members focus on skills and support for life’s most important areas. Areas
of focus are jobs, safe housing, access to education, and financial literacy.
The end goal is for families to no longer rely on government help. To become
happy, self sufficient, and lead a fulfilling life for them and their family.

What Is life Guides?


HELP FOR ANYONE!

As the need for help has increased recently we’ve looked for ways to expand and
meet the needs of our community. As of today, we are launching Get Help at
Goodwill. This service is designed to help those that have a challenging time
finding resources and filling out forms/applications/paperwork that is often
required to get the help they need.  

The best part? This service is available to EVERYONE!

What can we help with?

 * Filling out and submitting applications (Not computer savvy? No computer?)
 * Finding resources (Not sure where to go to get the help you need?)
 * Navigating paperwork or the application process (Not sure how to fill out a
   required section?)

And much more! Do not hesitate to call, email, or text us. We will get you the
help you need!

Email: gethelp@goodwillswmi.org
Call Us: (269) 422-0327
Text Us: (269) 422-0327

 

This wouldn’t be possible without our awesome community partners! 




WHAT WE DO

We are more than just a thrift store and a place to drop off your old clothes!
As a nonprofit organization our main focus is helping people escape poverty
through education and employment so they can reach their full potential. The
main programs that are designed to do just that include: Forklift Certification,
Basic Computer Education, Adult Education (GED), Job Development, and Workers On
Wheels. We live by our mission, “Tailoring employment, education, training, and
support services to individual needs.” These programs are funded through
donations, thrift store sales (92% of every dollar goes into our programs),
supply chain solutions, and helping small businesses and startups get off the
ground. Support our mission by finding a retail store near you and find out why
we have the best thrift stores in Michigan

PEOPLE SERVICES


NONPROFIT PROGRAMS DESIGNED AROUND OUR COMMUNITY

ADULT EDUCATION - GED

Education is paramount to improving someone’s life. We know this at Goodwill
Industries of Southwestern Michigan, that’s why we go the extra mile to help
adult learners obtain the necessary education to pass their GED exam. 

WORKERS ON WHEELS

We offer safe and affordable vehicles to residents. Transportation is still a
major barrier to getting a job for those in poverty. Our goal is to remove this
barrier so those that want to work are able to. This is a step away from
dependency and a step closer to self-sufficiency. The donation process is easier
than you’d think!

FORKLIFT TRAINING

Barriers to employment have been our focal points when helping people find jobs.
Often times forklift certification happens on the job, but what if that’s whats
holding you back from getting hired? Thats where we come in.

JOB DEVELOPMENT

This is no generic “show up and fill out paperwork” program. We’re here to
personally see you succeed by providing one on one job employment
attainment services tailored specifically to individual vocational goals.
