ABOUT THE GOODWILL YOUNG LEADERS BOARD
Who?
The GWYLB are professionals, outstanding in both their accomplishments and potential, who exemplify diversity across race, age, gender, background and profession.
Why?
Established in 2014, the GWYLB formed to engage a new generation of leaders to further the mission of Goodwill.
How?
Young Leaders impact Goodwill’s mission through direct volunteer service, philanthropic giving and the facilitation of new relationships.
What is the Mission Impact Grant?
This grant allows Goodwill programs to build upon or create new opportunities for its clients. Goodwill’s mission-based programs submit applications proposing an enhanced or innovative project outside of their budget. Goodwill Young Leaders then select one winning program for the annual award.
Gather for Goodwill is the GWYL’s annual fundraiser which supports programs like Goodwill Mission Coaches who are deployed throughout the organization to help individuals meet their personal and professional goals.
