Powering possibilities across the Fox Valley and Bay Area
When you donate and shop at Goodwill North Central Wisconsin, you’re powering what’s possible for individuals in our local communities across the Fox Valley and Bay Area as they build job skills to sustain employment and improve their financial stability.
The Power of You & Goodwill NCW in Our Communities
When you donate
you’re not just passing along an outfit you no longer wear, you’re dressing someone for their next chapter.
The average donation creates about three hours of job training through Goodwill NCW Employment Services.
When you shop secondhand
you’re not just buy art. You’re surrounding yourself with beauty and inspiration.
On average, 90 cents of every dollar in sales is reinvested back into our mission of Elevating People by Eliminating Barriers to Employment.
When you donate and shop, it means you’re powering possibilities for individuals with employment barriers in the Fox Valley and Bay Area.
Meet Jazlyn
Jazlyn came to Goodwill NCW with a goal of strengthening her social skills and building confidence in navigating everyday interactions. She successfully completed courses in self-presentation, attitude, dependability, decision-making, motivation, self-advocacy, social interactions, stress management, time management, conflict resolution, customer service, organizational skills, and team building. She also earned digital badges in Customer Service and Team Building by successfully passing course assessments.
Throughout her journey, Jazlyn demonstrated a strong commitment to growth. She advocated for herself, took detailed notes, asked thoughtful questions, and actively applied what she learned to real-life situations. One of her proudest accomplishments was standing up for herself and setting a personal boundary – something she previously felt uncomfortable doing.
Reflecting on her experience, Jazlyn shared, “Thank you for your lessons that gave me something to look forward to, like a sunrise after a long winter.” She also expressed gratitude for the sense of belonging, hope, and new problem-solving strategies she gained through the program.
