Goodwill Debuts Vital Pathways To Success Program For Lubbock You

High school is a time for growth, development, and learning how to be a self-sustaining adult in this great wide world. Well, Goodwill Industries of Northwest Texas (GINWT) is celebrating the signing of several Estacado students to the brand new Pathways to Success Program!

The signing day celebration will take place on Friday, June 26, at 11 a.m. at 517 N. Zenith Avenue.

What Happens on Signing Day?

On Friday, a total of 12 junior and senior students will sign their program contracts that go into effect in August when the 2026-2027 school year begins.

When students participate in the Pathways to Success Project from GINWT they gain hands-on experience in on-the-job training, leadership development, and career readiness.

Also, the $13-per-hour wage certainly doesn't hurt on top of it all.

President and CEO of GINWT, Robin Raney, said that this program is a fantastic opportunity that serves as an investment in the next generation of Lubbock workers:

In partnership with Lubbock Independent School District, we are combining paid work experience, education, and leadership development to equip these students with the skills and confidence they need to build meaningful careers and achieve long-term success.

Goodwill Industries first opened their doors in Lubbock back in 1967 with donations from several community organizations including the Lubbock Lions Club. Since then they have been working towards their mission of helping people overcome challenges and build the skills needed to find jobs or grow their careers.
