Chattanooga Goodwill Industries has launched a new program designed to assist youth with disabilities in overcoming disadvantages and avoiding delinquency. It's part of a national mentoring program known as Goodwill GoodGuides™ that helps teens finish school and transition into productive careers through the guidance of trusted adults.

Goodwill GoodGuides helps youth with disabilities build career plans and skills and prepare for school completion, post-secondary training and productive work by providing structured and supportive relationships with trusted adult mentors. It targets
16- and 17-year-olds who are at risk for dropping out
of school or facing other barriers because of their
disabilities.

Adults interested in becoming volunteer mentors
should call (423)629-2501, ext. 281, or e-mail
