Goodwill Industries of Arkansas’ Transitional Employment Opportunity (TEO) mission – Changing lives through education, training, and employment.
Goodwill Industries of Arkansas is committed to providing services to individuals who are returning to our community from a period of incarceration. Our staff understands the challenges faced when reentering the workforce after incarceration and the skills needed to overcome them.
We provide reentry services through the LifeLaunch Reintegration Program and the Rock City Reentry Project. Both grants were originally funded by the U.S. Department of Labor to provide the opportunity for community and faith-based organizations, states, and local governments to improve outcomes for adults age 25 and older who have been incarcerated in the adult criminal justice system and released from prison or jail within 180 days. Goodwill offers a range of services designed to assist eligible individuals in certain census tracts in Pulaski County, Arkansas with training, career planning, supportive services, and employment placement services.
The Goodwill® Adult LifeLaunch Reintegration Program is made possible with a grant award of $4.5 million, covering 74 percent of costs, from the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration. Twenty-six percent of the Goodwill Adult LifeLaunch Reintegration Program activities and services will be supported with $1.6 million in leveraged resources. The Rock City Reentry Program is made possible with a grant award from the U.S. Department of Labor to the Little Rock Workforce Development Board.
