Goodwill Week set for May 5-10, 2025

Every year during the first full week of May, Goodwill organizations across the U.S. and Canada celebrate Goodwill Week to highlight the defining principle of our mission — changing lives through education, training and employment.

In celebration, Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee will hold special activities at its Career Solutions centers in middle and west Tennessee, including job fairs, employability skills classes and computer workshops. 

Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee connects people who are unemployed or underemployed with career navigation and skills attainment so they can advance their careers and earn long-term stability for themselves and their families. Goodwill helps anyone facing challenges to finding employment — including youth, seniors, veterans, immigrants and those with disabilities — gain skills and credentials, receive support and gain meaningful employment.
