Mission
The mission of goodwill's green works, inc. Is to provide training and develop the skills of people with employment challenges to enable them to work. Environmentally friendly services are provided to customers while creating job opportunities for local residents who are unemployed.

Program
Goodwill's green works provides transitional work experience for persons with challenges to employment.

Soft skills development includes punctuality, attendance, teamwork, respectful interactions, flexibility, problem-solving abilities, strong communication skills, and self-confidence at all corporate levels. Hard skills include training to operate factory equipment such as fork lift, sheer machine, cable reel roller, and rough sort line; trainees also learn about the value & importance of metrics.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $3.2M to $9.0M (+179%).
How it's funded, over time
