Headquartered in Boston, Goodwill serves individuals who face barriers to self-sufficiency, including physical and/or developmental disabilities, homelessness, low educational attainment, limited job skills and welfare dependency.

Today, Goodwill provides a range of job training programs, collaborates with hundreds of businesses to provide job opportunities to those we serve, and offers programs that foster academic achievement and career aspirations among at-risk youth. Through Boston Career Link, a one-stop career center, Goodwill provides assistance to people who are seeking to change or advance in their careers. Central to Goodwill’s mission are the businesses it operates, including seven retail stores and The OutSource Resource, a light assembly, packaging and mailing services enterprise.By providing a hand up, not a hand out, Goodwill helps people help themselves. Last year, Goodwill served nearly 6,200 people and 225 communities in eastern and central Massachusetts.
