goodwill
We believe in transforming communities through the power of work. From free career consulting to job placement, donated goods retail stores to custodial and security services, vocational habilitation to in-home caregiving, Goodwill Columbus is passionate about the individuals we serve.
the power
of work
Goodwill Columbus is proud to be one of the region’s largest job providers and a trusted source in Central Ohio for equipping people for work through job skills, training, and first or next best employment opportunities.
opportunity
for all
Our career trainings and certifications are offered free of charge to the public and are focused on preparing individuals, of various backgrounds, for in-demand jobs in the healthcare, information technology, hospitality, retail, and business sectors.
give goods
do good
Proceeds generated by our familiar thrift stores directly support the Goodwill mission in Columbus, Ohio. So that perfect pair of jeans will help a Franklin County mother find her next job. The vintage vinyl record will support community-based career training. And a gently used pick-up truck will provide job and life skills to a neighbor with developmental disabilities.
where your things
start new lives
Every donated item we sell helps us teach people the skills they need to end the cycle of unemployment. Through jobs, job training, and coaching Goodwill Columbus is here to help.
Find a Job
Goodwill Columbus believes the power of work can transform lives. We have confidence that our commitment to career navigation and skills development can lead to long-term economic stability for individuals, their families, and the greater Columbus community.
Whether you are looking for your first job, your next job, or to grow your skills, Goodwill is here to help.
Shop & Donate
One way that Goodwill Columbus supports its mission is through retail sales of donated clothes and household items. So whether you are looking for a one-of-a-kind vintage find, a more sustainable way to shop, or affordable options for the whole family – shopping with us means bringing home good.
