Evergreen Goodwill of Northwest Washington
Helping Caregivers Thrive Through Equitable Diploma and Career Pathways
We integrate free childcare into adult diploma pathways, removing structural barriers and expanding access to credentials and workforce opportunities for caregivers.
Many adults are excluded from family-sustaining employment because they lack a high school diploma and cannot access adult education while managing caregiving responsibilities. Workforce and education systems implicitly assume learners are free from caregiving obligations, leaving caregivers locked out of opportunity. Evergreen Goodwill of Northwest Washington proposes to launch The Excel Center®, a proven adult high school model embedding free childcare into diploma pathways to expand access to credentials and economic mobility.
