Amy's Success Story

Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) Program

Amy was finishing her last year of high school. She was excited to find a job and begin adult life. But finding a job on her own was tough. She learned that the job market was competitive. And she didn’t know what skills she had and where those skills might fit in. She knew she needed a helping hand. So she turned to Goodwill for support.
