Goodwill of Greater Washington is a caring, local nonprofit organization. Millions of people donate and shop with us every year. However, many people don’t fully understand how their donations and purchases transform thousands of lives right here in the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area. Through the Now You Know video testimonial series; we hope that the individual accounts of the people touched by Goodwill and your generosity will help you better understand the positive impact you make when you support our charitable organization. Each video is presented through a different lens…a Goodwill program graduate, trainer, team member, leader, Excel Center student, or local employer, and every video tells a powerful story. Now, you know.

Success Stories

While the Now You Know video series highlights those we employ, we also wanted to share a collection of videos featuring the students from our adult charter high school, The Goodwill Excel Center. Their stories demonstrate true commitment and the ability to overcome tremendous challenges. Each of these graduates is an inspiration and a testament to the belief that no barrier can conquer the human spirit.
