Goodwill provides employment, job training and other community-based
programs for people with disabilities, those who lack education or job experience,
and others facing employment challenges. We believe that work creates the economic
energy that builds strong families and strong communities. Work helps build self-confidence,
friendships and independence. Everyone deserves a chance to have those things in life.
Goodwill provides that chance.

YFC is committed to pursuing teenagers in their world, sharing with
them the hope and love that God has for them. In pursuing teenagers, YFC
will consistently strive to develop safe, bridge-building relationships with middle

As students come to know the hope and love that God has to offer, our belief is that
a teenager’s life will be impacted eternally.
