Goodwill Industries of Arkansas is excited to announce a partnership with the Little Rock School District (LRSD) Early Childhood Department aimed at supporting early childhood education and workforce development in the community.
This innovative collaboration leverages the strengths of both organizations to create generational impact. The partnership focuses on three key areas: expanding access to quality early childhood education, enhancing professional development opportunities, and fostering a supportive learning environment for both children and adults.
