Our Work Continues

The campaign may be over, but our work continues! It’s not too late to get involved and support the future of Goodwill-Easter Seals Minnesota.

The Power of Work Campaign Impact

GESMN supports individuals and families in preparing for, securing, and maintaining stable employment. The campaign builds on that commitment in powerful and tangible ways:

  • Community needs assessments in the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota will inform how we grow new training programs, impact technology expansion, and support new partnerships.
  • Digital skills training and better-equipped computer labs provide enhanced access for participants to grow their digital competencies.  
  • A new case management system allows us to enhance services and programs and provide the highest quality employment and training services for our participants.
  • Remodeling the Prior Avenue training center created a reception area so staff can welcome and support participants arriving for training.

“Right now, I’m looking into administrative assistant roles or anything that would give me project management experience,” Natasha added.
