WELCOME TO THE GOODHEALTH PROGRAM
We Believe Everyone Can Achieve Their Fullest Potential
Our vision is to build the capacity of each participant to manage their life healthfully as an individual, community member, peer, and family member in a way that empowers them to become their own advocates so that they can develop resistance, strategies to peer pressure, self-advocacy techniques, nutritional knowledge, and work experience.
OUR MISSION
The Good Health program embraces the values and ethics provided by Goodwill in order to enhance and enrich our priority population of moderate to severe special education students by providing equal access to health education, work opportunities, and mobility training through meaningful classroom health education lessons, on-site volunteer experience, and monthly field trip activities.

Intern 2017-2018
"This internship is what you make out of it. There is a great opportunity for growth but you have to be willing and open. The impact you make may feel small sometimes with this population but it is significant. I became a more refined individual with a purpose thanks to GoodHealth"
