The Escambia County High School High Tech students are on the move!

Goodwill Career Readiness Navigator Sjada Williams led field trips to The University of West Florida and The Air Force Armament Museum.

The students toured the University of West Florida, explored the campus, learned more about college life, and experienced what a future in higher education could look like. ✨ The Air Force Armament Museum is the only museum in the world dedicated to the exhibition of memorabilia associated with Air Force Armament and the students were fascinated.

High School High Tech, funded by The Able Trust, is a Goodwill Gulf Coast program that provides youth ages 14 to 19 with disabilities the opportunities and resources they need to graduate from high school and pursue in demand careers. 💙

Today we honor and remember Ricky Boyd. 💙

Since 2012, Ricky and Ann Boyd faithfully oversaw and ran our Wilmer Adult Education program, serving GED students in a hard to reach area of our community with dedication, compassion, and care. Their impact touched the lives of so many students over the years, and in recognition of their service, they received the Community Partner Award at the 2024 Annual Meeting. 👏

Ricky passed away last week after facing health challenges over the past year. We are deeply grateful for the many years he and Ann devoted to helping others reach their educational goals and build brighter futures. His legacy will continue through the lives he helped change. ✨

A big congratulations to Autumn, our Intake Coordinator in the Goodwill Autism Evaluation Clinic, on graduating from Spring Hill College with her bachelor’s degree. 🎓Autumn first joined Goodwill as an intern and spent a year and a half learning and growing with our team. Since December, she has served as the Intake Coordinator, helping families navigate the evaluation process with care and compassion. 💙

Our Autism Evaluation Clinic does so much more than provide local pediatricians with important diagnostic information. It is also a valuable resource for parents seeking answers and support as they learn whether their child may be on the autism spectrum. ✨

Congratulations, Autumn. We are so proud of you and all you have accomplished. 🌟
