Meet Zach. Building Skills Through the Power of Work.
Zach came to Goodwill through a community partnership after several years of struggling to find work.
While initially shy and low on confidence, Zach grew to thrive in the Donor Greeter role at the Green Bay West Goodwill and was hired as a permanent team member following his internship.
“Zach worked very hard to learn how to work in donations, and he was happy to learn everything he could. I am very proud of Zach and his great strides in the last 6 months!” said Production Team Leader, Crystal.
Meet Patrick. Creating an Impact in the Bay Area.
Patrick come through a community partnership program after being out of the workforce for more than five years.
As his job skills and independence grew, Patrick quickly elevated from the donor greeter role to learning other roles in the production area. By January 2023, Patrick was hired as a team member.
“What is most remarkable about Patrick is his calm, friendly demeanor, even in the face of a hard day or other struggles he may be having,” Edward, Mission Team Leader at Goodwill NCW said.
