Goodwill of Southern Nevada Repeats as Best of Las Vegas Gold Winner

Nonprofit voted Best Special Needs Program Gold and Best Consignment/Thrift Store Silver winner

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (Dec. 19, 2022) – For a second year in a row, Goodwill of Southern Nevada (Goodwill®) has been voted Best of Las Vegas Gold winner for Best Special Needs Program. Through partnerships with Nevada Vocational Rehabilitation (VR Nevada) and Clark County School District, Goodwill’s disability programs help people living with disabilities assess their work readiness and prepare for meaningful employment.

Goodwill offers five carefully designed programs that allow people with different abilities to experience the dignity of work, a sense of purpose, and a fully inclusive culture. The programs – Community Based Training (CBT), Skills to Enable Personal Success (STEPS), Student Work Experience Program (SWEP), Work Readiness Summer Program, and Pre-Employment Transitional Solutions – primarily serve individuals in their late teens and early twenties seeking their first work experience and a path to independence.

Goodwill was also named the Best Consignment/Thrift Store Silver winner for a second consecutive year. The accolade comes three weeks following the opening of the seventeenth area Goodwill thrift store and donation center, located on Las Vegas Blvd. at Robindale.

“Goodwill is honored to once again be recognized by the community we serve as among the Best of Las Vegas,” said Bryan Stewart, vice president of marketing and communications at Goodwill of Southern Nevada. “Guiding people living with disabilities to achieve their employment and career goals has been a cornerstone of Goodwill’s mission for decades. Goodwill recognizes people living with disabilities have much to offer our community as motivated and valuable contributors to our local workforce.”
