Who We Are

Discovery Services are Day Support programs at Goodwill. Individuals choose who they interact with, what activities they participate in, and whether they stay in the Goodwill environment or engage in community outings; while optimizing their initiative, self-determination, and independence. Individuals enrolled in Discovery Services may choose to participate in Group Day Support, Community Engagement, or Community Coaching services. 

Group Day Support services are for individuals who have an interest in improving self-help, socialization, community integration, and adaptive skills. Skill building is provided in coordination with required therapies per the individual's person-centered plan. Participants will receive education, support, and monitoring to acquire and retain skills in many areas, including:

  • Personal care needs;
  • Communication;
  • Hobbies, clubs, or other related activities in their communities;
  • Exploring community job prospects through an internship or volunteer activities;
  • Skill building in positive behavior, the use of community resources, community safety, positive peer interactions, and social skills.

Group Day Support services are available to individuals whose outcomes and objectives could address the following in a community setting:

  • Self, social, and environmental awareness;
  • Sensory stimulation and gross, fine motor, and perceptual skills;
  • Communication and personal care;
  • Learning skills and problem solving;
  • Behavior management activities;
  • Services are conducted using a 1:7 ratio.

The program is offered at the Roanoke Jobs Campus, Radford Jobs Campus, and Rocky Mount Jobs Campus.
