Do Something Good! Students are showing sustainability in doing a lot of good as far as being wastewise! "... Goodwill was founded on sustainability principles and through the intersection of social and environmental impacts to drive performance, Goodwill demonstrates leadership and innovation, creating thousands of jobs and contributing to the economic health of communities while preserving resources and the environment."


ONLINE LEARNING AT NO COST TO YOU


Use Goodwill online learning provided on your smartphone, from your home, at a library or community center or anywhere else you have online access. GCFLearnFree.org® offers more than 1,000 free, self-paced lessons to improve digital skills, navigate careers and live better lives.

Local Goodwill organizations partner with college campuses in their communities to hold campus move-out donation drives, empowering students to donate items versus throwing them away before returning home. Through these drives, each year, tens of thousands of pounds of donations are collected supporting Goodwill’s mission and creating a more circular economy.
