Success Story: Charlie
The stigma that comes with a criminal record made finding a job challenging for Charlie.
“It was rough coming right out of prison,” he said. “I had nothing.”
Charlie was referred to Goodwill’s Offender Success program by his parole agent.
With determination and positivity, Charlie progressed through the program’s employment readiness classes and was placed in a transitional paid work experience in Goodwill’s Industrial Services department. Proving himself to be hardworking and dependable, Charlie was hired in as a textile baler in Goodwill’s production department.
“I am truly thankful for the help that Goodwill has given me,” Charlie said.
