Student and Volunteer Success Stories

Anthony Fanning, a married father of six, got out of prison in 2014. After spending months trying to find a job while his wife supported the family, he came to Goodwill Career Solutions seeking help. He attended a job fair, took a computer class and received other services. Then, he completed Goodwill's Construction and Weatherization Training Program. Anthony formed a bond with the program's instructor, Tim Kahn. In February of 2015 — with Kahn's help — Anthony founded his own home repair service. In May of 2022, Anthony embraced another opportunity: He is now an instructor working with students in the Construction program to help them find success as he did.
