Youth On Their Own Resale Home Store

Goodwill of Southern Arizona's mission is to provide jobs and training for people to gain skills and achieve independence. Goodwill® of Southern Arizona hosts 12 local programs for individuals in our community. All of our services are provided free of charge thanks to the generous support from our community and funding from trusted donors, community partners and municipalities. With 6 programs for both youth and adults, our goal as a workforce development nonprofit is to offer skills and training to help individuals find long-term and life changing employment. Last year we served 7,909 individuals, with over 150,000 people served since our founding! Here in Southern Arizona, we diverted over 36 million pounds of goods from entering into our local landfills and we helped conserve countless resources and materials by helping our community reduce, reuse and recycle in a safe and responsible manner.
