Who

We are?

Goodwill de Puerto Rico is a local non-profit organization dedicated to empowering people to change their lives through meaningful opportunities in employment, education, and health.

In Puerto Rico, thousands of adults face significant challenges to achieve independence, such as disabilities, criminal backgrounds, and limited education, which often results in poverty and hardship. Goodwill’s evidence-based programs address these barriers by providing the resources needed for individuals to increase their independence and reach their full potential.
The effort to implement Goodwill services in Puerto Rico is led by the team at Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana, an organization with over 90 years of experience providing essential services in areas such as employment, job training, education, and maternal-infant health care. This experience ensures the development and success of Goodwill's operations on the island.
