What is Happening at Goodwill Columbus in May? DIGITAL LITERACY.
Don’t we all think that we have crazy digital literacy skills? I thought for sure that I did.

The Benefits of Volunteering
By Stacey Buttel – Career Facilitator, Goodwill Columbus Workforce Development As far back as I can remember, my mother had me signed up for anything and everything.

by Victor Johnson April is Celebrate Diversity Month. I’d like to illustrate why initiatives like this are important.

Don’t Lean Your Ladder Against the Wrong Wall
First, let me be clear, I’m not afraid of heights. I love flying and I’ve stood on high peaks in Alaska. I didn’t get that close to the edge of a sheer side, but I’ve been on the summit. Yet, there is something about bridges, staircases and ladders that erases all reason from my mindContinue reading “Don’t Lean Your Ladder Against the Wrong Wall”
