Goodwill San Antonio is one of the largest and most dynamic social enterprises in San Antonio.

We are an entrepreneurial non-profit that provides employees the opportunity to innovate, grow and discover new skills, while generating revenue that funds both employee and community programs.

We are a diverse and inclusive organization founded and focused on Fighting Poverty and Creating Opportunity. We specialize in facilitating personal and professional growth for our employees, particularly those who may have experienced barriers to successful employment in the past.

We strive to maximize the value of each employee's work and each donor's donation to benefit our community and environment. Without Goodwill in our community, millions of pounds of perfectly usable items would be harming the environment in landfills. Instead, Goodwill employees are fueling a robust economy by recirculating used goods.

Explore careers with Goodwill in retail, production, warehouse, logistics, contact center customer service, career services, technology, document imaging, grounds maintenance, janitorial and facilities maintenance. Goodwill regularly partners with local, state and federal government agencies to provide additional diverse career opportunities.

We prefer to promote from within. Your growth and advancement is our priority.

Achieve your potential at Goodwill and beyond through our personal and professional skills development programs, supportive health and well-being benefits, competitive base and bonus pay, savings plans, personal financial education, store purchase discounts, paid time off, leadership development, tuition reimbursement and more.
