The Goodwill of the Heartland assists people with barriers to independence in developing abilities, increasing self-respect and attaining economic freedom. Their mission is to help people reach their full potential through education, training and the power of work. Unfortunately, many physical, emotional or intellectual obstacles block people from reaching their potential and achieving their best life. Therefore, Goodwill of the Heartland empowers people to: find a job, get job training and career advice, learn about good careers and how to advance in them, build functional life skills and work toward greater levels of independence. This includes anyone who needs training or support to earn a living wage, obtain employment, live independently or gain the skills necessary for independent living. Some examples include veterans facing barriers when reintegrating following their service. Those previously incarcerated face a unique set of obstacles, as do those with a history of substance abuse or unstable housing. The organization provides services like employment training, job placement and job maintenance Services, veterans services, day habilitation, and supported community living. Maintaining the public trust in their work as a charitable organization is their top priority. For further assistance, you should contact the Goodwill of the Heartland.
