Goodwill® Vehicle Donations Help Teens Get Jobs

Everyone knows that the past few years haven’t been the easiest economically speaking. Finding a job is difficult for even the most qualified applicants, one can only imagine what that must be like for a young adult lacking workplace experience. Goodwill Industries® of Denver aims to solve that problem by providing area youth with job skills and training courses during the summer. This is a positive situation for all involved because when these children enter the workforce they’ll be prepared and by knowing what to expect they may have a leg up on the competition. Goodwill Industries® of Denver isn’t the only chapter implementing programs like these chapters are doing the same thing across the country. You can help start or continue a program like this one in your community by donating a car, time or money.

Goodwill Industries® relies heavily upon donations of all kinds however, car donations are a great and fast way to bring in much needed revenue. The process is pretty simple you call in or go online and donate your car and the proceeds from your donated car are put toward job skills and training.

Your old unwanted car can become a useful skills class for a young student looking for direction or even a second chance for someone trying to get back into the workforce. When someone makes the decision to donate a car they’re helping themselves, their taxes, the earth and their community.
