Goodwill® appreciates America's veterans. And as a way to give back to those who've served our country, Goodwill has committed itself to helping servicemen and women and their families make a successful transition into civilian life with access to transitional housing, job training or employment. And the service isn't just limited to returning veterans from the wars in the Middle East. The program is available for all those who've served in all periods of combat, from Vietnam and the Gulf War. Employment services is also available to military spouses and families.
What can veterans and their families expect?
As a part of the Obama administration's Joining Forces Initiative, Goodwill will work with serviceman to come up with a life plan that identifies and sets realistic, achievable goals. Veterans are also given access to a variety of family strengthening services offered by Goodwill and if they can’t meet the veteran's needs, they will connect them with a community partner who can.
Veterans will also have access to Goodwill's GCFLearnFree, a program that offers more than 750 self-paced online courses in computers, math, reading and more.
