About us
For over six decades, Goodwill Central Texas has relentlessly focused on a single goal: Transforming generations by empowering people through education, career training, and work. We believe that education and work are the only true pathways out of poverty, and strive to provide opportunities for people in our community who face obstacles to sustainable employment: people who have disabilities, people lacking education, people with criminal backgrounds, people facing homelessness, and youth lacking opportunity.
