Goodcity seeks to propel these social entrepreneurs to achieve maximum impact through training, mentoring, and milestone-based funding. Programs supported by Goodcity focus on employment, workforce development and retention, education, opportunities for area youth, and increasing the utilization of available benefits and government services. Goodcity primarily serves the Austin community, but also supports neighborhood programs throughout Chicago, including North Lawndale, East Garfield Park, Englewood, and Bronzeville.
