Production Worker at Goodwill

I was afraid and discouraged

Being recently released from prison, I was afraid that no one would ever hire me due to my extensive criminal history. But then I can across a program at Goodwill called Jobs On The Outside. After a four day training course, I applied for their 12-week work program and was hired. Now I have new confidence and hope for the future. I will not be denied from here! So, bring it on.

Olin Brown I had no idea Goodwill had this type of program and I visit their website all the time. We have lots of members with this issue who struggle to find employment opportunities. I'm sure the information and inspiration you share here will present a new option to help them overcome their plight. Your courage and generosity in sharing this information is Greatly Appreciated. Thank you Olin Brown .

Please remember to come back and update us on your progress!
