Goodwill Industries International created GoodGuides, a national mentoring program, in 57 Goodwill territories, including mid-Michigan, in 38 states. The goal is to help youth build career plans and skills, prepare for school completion, post-secondary training, and productive work by providing them with structured and supportive relationships with trusted adult mentors. The targeted youth (ages 12 - 17) are at-risk for juvenile delinquency. They are young people least likely to have trusting relationships with adults due to risk factors such as school failure, prior delinquency, family violence, and other disadvantages. The program will provide career exploration and skill development to offer youth a pathway out of poverty and crime via family strengthening and positive youth development approaches.
