SCENARIO By 2018, the United States will have more
than 46 million job openings. Of these jobs, 30 million will require some kind
of higher education, and there will be a shortfall of three million individuals with the appropriate level of education to fill them.1
SOLUTION The Goodwill Youth Career Development
Program addresses this “Middle Skills Gap” and the growing importance of higher education by helping at-risk students graduate from high school with a plan
for a successful future.
EMPOWERMENT: [EM-POW-ER-MINT], NOUN: THAT FEELING THAT ACCOMPANIES GETTING YOUR DREAM JOB; THE FEELING THAT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

STUDENTS EXCEL AS COMMUNITY AMBASSADORS
The Goodwill Student Advisory Council (SAC) is a group of high school students who represent seven school districts from all over the Denver metro area. The students work on leadership skills, participate in valuable business networking events, and connect with the community through various service projects. Many SAC students struggle to overcome obstacles such as homelessness, extreme poverty, and the burden of caring for younger siblings, as they focus on
high school graduation and beyond.

BECOMING MORE THAN SHE THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE
A few years back, life was a struggle for Jackie. She was putting herself through college and taking care of her son on her own. Though she was looking for work, she was on government assistance and didn’t feel empowered. When she was referred to Goodwill’s Career Connection Center, things began to change. Jackie worked with Goodwill employment specialists to identify her strengths and hone in on her interests. She decided that being an educator and mentor to others who faced the same barriers would be the perfect
fit. Now she is inspiring others.

SHE NEVER LOST SIGHT OF HER DREAMS
Although Tonya Johnson has an extreme visual impairment, she never let her disability get in the way of her goals. When Tonya went searching for a job, Goodwill offered an employment setting that would meet her personal needs. When she became part of the Goodwill Community Employment Program, Tonya began to have greater confidence, learned about money management, and the responsibilities that came with being employed. The result has been astonishing. Her family says she has a great sense
of accomplishment and independence.

HE FELT LOST UNTIL HE FOUND A STEADY JOB
Life seemed like an uphill battle for Leo Melgosa. When he was young, he lost his mother, and his father struggled to support the family. Leo didn't have nice clothes to wear for job interviews, and he didn't even have a phone—so getting a job felt impossible. His life began to go down the wrong path. He finally found Goodwill—where he could begin a meaningful career. Leo was rapidly promoted throughout the organization—eventually becoming a manager—where he is thriving as a leader and a mentor. In addition to success at work, after a 16–year separation, Leo reunited with his
daughter, which furthered his drive to succeed.

EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS
Every year, our employees experience hardships or life events that require support. These are the most requested types of assistance.

COMING UP FROM “ROCK BOTTOM”
"GOODWILL IS INSPIRING KIDS TO NOT ONLY STAY IN SCHOOL, BUT START THINKING ABOUT WHAT THEY WILL DO AFTER SCHOOL. I WENT TO COLLEGE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, BUT I DROPPED OUT. WHEN I TALK TO KIDS, I CAN GIVE THEM REAL PERSPECTIVE ON THAT. " –VERNON SMITH,
2014— 2015 GOODWILL VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR
IN MAY 2011, VERNON SMITH WAS LAID OFF FROM HIS JOB. FOR A FULL YEAR AFTER, HE LOOKED FOR WORK IN A TOUGH MARKET TO NO AVAIL; HIS CONFIDENCE WAS SHATTERED AND HE SPIRALED INTO DEPRESSION. AS HE DESCRIBES IT—HE BOTTOMED OUT. NOW MORE THAN EVER, HE REGRETTED NOT GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE. HOPE CAME FROM AN UNEXPECTED PLACE: THE GOODWILL YOUTH CAREER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, WHICH OFFERED HIM AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOLUNTEER IN A LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL, WORKING WITH AT-RISK STUDENTS.
"VOLUNTEERING WITH GOODWILL WAS TH E BEST TH ING I EVER DID IN MY LI FE, ” IT GAVE ME A S PRING IN MY STEP—A S ENS E O F PURPOS E."
VERNON BEGAN VOLUNTEERING IN THE CLASSROOM, SPEAKING ON CAREER PANELS, AND HELPING STUDENTS IN MOCK INTERVIEWS AND SCHOLARSHIP PREPARATION. HE FOUND THAT HELPING OTHERS GAVE HIM THE STRENGTH TO HELP HIMSELF. HE WENT BACK TO COLLEGE AND IS NOW EMBARKING ON HIS OWN CONSULTING BUSINESS. EVEN WITH HIS BUSY SCHEDULE, HE CONTINUES TO VOLUNTEER TWICE A WEEK.
