Bay Area, see how Goodwill Starts with You

Meet Damian

Damian, who is deaf, lives in a group home and relies on limited transportation to get to work. Goodwill NCW leaders did not hesitate to hire him explaining, “Damian came to us at the right time, and we can accommodate his schedule.” He started working four-hour shifts three days a week as a ticketer and was immediately successful.

Fellow store team members use handwritten notes to Damian. It’s been working so well that he has been elevated to working four, four-hour days a week with the goal of increasing his hours more.
