Education Access

Learn More About The Excel Center® Evansville Southeast
  • The Need

    In our region, many adults lack a high school diploma. In Vanderburgh County, 9% of the population 25 years or older lack a high school diploma. This limits job opportunities, with adults without a diploma facing a 9.6% unemployment rate and earning nearly $10,000 less than those with a high school diploma. (See The Need here).

  • Our Response

    In 2024, we launched The Excel Center Evansville Southeast, a free adult high school offering a second chance at a high school diploma with the support needed to succeed.

  • What Changed

    Adults in our community are earning diplomas, gaining confidence, and opening doors to better employment and education.

Digital Skills & Access

  • The Need

    We live in a digital world with 92% of jobs in the U.S. requiring digital skills. However, across Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, and the rest of the U.S. a digital divide remains with almost 1/3rd of our workforce lacking the necessary digital skills. (See The Need here).

  • Our Response

    We created the GoodSkills Academy, offering free digital skills classes that meet people where they are. From basic computer skills to AI, we offer a variety of topics to help people feel more confident in a digital world.

  • What Changed

    Participants gain confidence using technology to apply for jobs, communicate effectively, and protect themselves online.

Stronger Together

Lasting change doesn’t happen alone.

We work alongside schools, employers, nonprofits, civic leaders, and community organizations to expand access to education, employment, and support services. We’re incredibly grateful to some of our local community partners who have helped extend our reach.

Through partnership, the Cycle of Good reaches further, creating pathways to opportunity that no single organization could build on its own.

Goodwill Evansville Motif
Morgan Cutout
Evansville Goodwill is more than an organization.
It’s a network of people who believe in second chances, shared responsibility, and the power of community to lift one another forward.

Together, we are building pathways to education, employment, and stability and creating a stronger tristate for all.
