Employment Services for Individuals with Disabilities

Since our beginnings in Brooklyn in 1915, we have provided training and employment for individuals with disabilities and barriers.

Back then, the funders trained these individuals to collect, mend and sell used goods, giving birth locally to the philosophy of retail stores funding services for the community.

Today, the Goodwill philosophy works! We offer training, on-the-job support, mentoring, and job placement to help enhance the lives of individuals with disabilities. Find the service that best suits your needs.
