Founded in the early 1900s in Boston, Goodwill Industries
introduced a model that differed from other charities of the day.
Goodwill would collect donations, then employ people in need to
repair and restore the items before selling the renewed goods for
profit. The profits were used to pay the people who refurbished the
goods. Goodwill Southern California has expanded from those humble
beginnings in Los Angeles to operate over 80 stores, 46 attended
donation centers, three campuses, five Career Resource Centers, and
three WorkSource Centers throughout Los Angeles, Riverside, and San
Bernardino counties.
Goodwill Southern California was founded with a mission to
Transform Lives Through the Power of Work. Goodwill
Southern California serves individuals with barriers to employment
by providing education, training, work experience, and job
placement services. Centered around four key values, Goodwill
Southern California treats everyone with respect, conducts business
with integrity, pursues a vision of excellence and continuous
improvement, and service to clients and each other.
Goodwill Southern California’s programs help reduce unemployment,
poverty, and crime—reducing the need for costly government support
services while boosting purchasing power within the local
community. This commitment to the community has led to recognition
for the achievement and efficiency of Goodwill Southern California.
The organization is proud to ensure that 95 cents of every budget
dollar directly fund the programs and services that transform lives
through the power of work.
A bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education and
