With child poverty rates on the rise (currently New Haven’s child poverty rate is at 30.5%), programs such as ours create lasting change in the lives of Connecticut’s most vulnerable residents. Through its investment, ESGI opened the Family Learning Center (FLC) in New Haven’s John S. Martinez School in April 2006. One year later, ESGI expanded its youth services by launching Youth As Leaders, the only program in New Haven exclusively for pre-teens. Currently, Youth As Leaders (YAL) is based at Hill Central School, serving 6th, 7th and 8th graders during after-school hours. The program also operates a service learning team of middle school youth out of the Courtland Wilson Library, The Family Learning Center at the Martinez school provides located in the Hill neighborhood of New Haven. Both educational services and promotes academic success in the FLC and YAL are part of the natural fabric of each addition to school and community engagement. school’s community, offering services such as after-school programs, family nights, field trips, a licensed full day summer camp and parent education workshops. Since opening, FLC and YAL have created a measurable impact in the lives of hundreds of New Haven youth and their families. More students are meeting academic goals and other developmental outcomes due to their involvement in ESGI’s positive youth development programs. One of the biggest highlights of both programs has been the children’s increased exposure to the arts, traditionally not accessible to poor minority, inner-city youth. From school-based arts residencies to family arts nights and day-long excursions to New York to see a Broadway play, the youth in our programs have increased their knowledge, interest and exposure to the visual, creative and performing arts. As a result, many students are now exploring other arts opportunities, such as attending New Haven’s arts-based high schools. To date, over two hundred and fifty children and their families have benefitted from ESGI’s youth development programming. Another program we administer which directly benefits New Haven residents is the Hill Family First Initiative (HFFI). Launched in 2009, HFFI works with 30-40 low-income families to stabilize their finances and move up the economic ladder. This project is funded in part by the Annie E. Casey Foundation and ESGI. Currently, the program is in its second year of operation and has achieved much success by helping single mothers obtain employment and meet goals such as permanent housing, educational advancement and career development. Youth As Leaders works with a smaller group of pre-teen adolescents to guarantee that ESGI currently supports 98% of the funding for the Agency’s positive each individual will get the attention and youth development programs based in New Haven.

  • Title: Historical Timeline
    Goodwill Industries — 100 Years of the Power of Work At the turn of the century, a Methodist minister in Boston’s South End pioneered an organization that gave people hope, dignity and independence. Rev. Edgar J. Helms’ original concept was visionary, for it is just as relevant today as it was 100 years ago. His social innovation set in motion a worldwide movement that would transform more than 5 million lives over the course of a century — all through the power of work. 1863 Edgar James Helms, founding father of Goodwill Industries, was born in Malone, NY, in January 1863. 1889 Helms enrolls in Boston University Theological School. Helms had tried his hand at law and newspaper publishing, but felt “called to the ministry.” 1892 Helms marries Jean Preston, his childhood sweetheart. Helms and two fellow students request that the City Missionary Society support them in opening a full-scale settlement house in the North End. Instead, Helms is offered a struggling inner city mission in Boston’s South End, Morgan Chapel, established a generation earlier by Henry Morgan. 1896 Helms meets Fred Moore, a young man on his way to becoming a business executive. Moore volunteers to help Helms’ efforts, and begins a lifetime of service to Goodwill. Moore is the first of many attracted to Goodwill by the sheer force of Helms’ personality. Using burlap bags from Thomas Wood and Company, Helms goes door-to-door in Boston’s wealthiest districts asking for donations of clothing and household goods. Goodwill differs from many charities of the day, emphasizing that donated goods could be sold for profit and that money would be used to pay workers who helped refurbish those goods.

  • DIGITAL NEWS, VIEWS & EVENTS News
    GOOD GOOD GOOD Words News Deeds AUGUST 2019 DIGITAL NEWS, VIEWS & EVENTS THE VALUE OF LEARNING By Star Rupe - President/CEO As summer winds down and the kids are all headed back to school, I’ve been thinking a lot about the importance of always being a learner. Whether in the classroom or on the job, reading books and articles or listening to podcasts and watching Ted Talks, or simply committing to try something new…the value of merely being open to the process is so beneficial! As you read the articles in this newsletter, you’ll see a theme…a theme of individual accomplishments and team successes…all centered around learning new things. We have folks who have branched out into community employment although staying at Goodwill would have been easier and less scary! We have supervisors who have taken the initiative to upskill through various certifications- requiring hours of studying, preparation, and the dreaded testing! Goodwill has partnered with Allen College to promote education, and one of our own Community Trainers will benefit from the opportunity in both classroom and practical learning experiences. There are graduates of Goodwill programming, individuals who have moved into their own home for the first time (lots of learning opportunity there!), managers who are willing to walk into a new store almost every week and provide leadership- despite needing to learn all the new ropes. Our Literacy Program is intended to create an appreciation for reading and education at an early age, Special Olympics athletes are learning new skills and about friendly competition, and team members are learning more about Goodwill when they attend Bigger Picture Day.

  • "Welfare to Work" Does Work
    Community Investments Vol. 10, Issue 3 "Welfare to Work" Does Work Author(s): Ardis D. Jerome, Senior Director of Marketing and Planning, Goodwill Industries of San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin Counties, Inc. Summer 1998 Undoubtedly you know about Goodwill Industries . the closet is too full, you finally clean it out and drop off the bags stuffed full of slightly out- of- style clothes. But did you know that Goodwill Industries pioneered the concept of “welfare to work” long before it was a political buzzword or an official government program? This article highlights how Goodwill Industries, in partnership with financial institutions, is making “welfare to work” work for our communities. Founded in 1902 by a Methodist minister in Boston, Goodwill Industries employed poverty-stricken immigrants who worked for goods donated by Dr. Edgar J. Helm’s affluent parishioners. Soon, there were more clothes and household items than the immigrants needed and the first Goodwill Industries store opened. It was here in Boston that Dr. Helm launched the very first “welfare to work” program by employing the impoverished immigrants at the Goodwill Industries store. Today, almost a century later, nearly 1,500 Goodwill Industries retail stores operate in the United States and Canada. These stores generate employment opportunities and revenue which funds other Goodwill Industries’ skills training programs. Goodwill Industries has earned a strong reputation for providing employment and training to people with disabilities and other barriers to employment. In 1997, Goodwill Industries’ retail sales were an astounding $598.7 million, total revenue exceeded $1.2 billion, and 204,235 people received employment and training services.
