October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM)!

At Goodwill Northern New England, we're proud to celebrate the value, talent, and contributions people with disabilities bring to our workplaces and communities every day.

Meaningful employment creates opportunities for independence, confidence, and connection. Through job training, career support, and employment services, Goodwill helps people overcome barriers and achieve their goals.

This year's NDEAM theme, "Celebrating Value and Talent," reminds us that an inclusive workforce is a stronger workforce.

Join us throughout October as we recognize National Disability Employment Awareness Month and celebrate the strengths, skills, and perspectives that make our communities thrive.

Meet Payton Rotta, an employee at our Ellsworth store who helps make every donation count while creating a welcoming experience for community members who choose to give their items a second life.

By accepting and sorting donations, Payton plays an important role in turning donated goods into opportunities that support Goodwill Northern New England's mission and help strengthen communities across northern New England.

What motivates him most? Knowing that his work has a purpose and seeing the positive impact it has on others every day.

"Goodwill doesn't feel like any other job I've had. Everything I do here has purpose. I go home every day feeling really good about the impact I am having and the relationships I'm building here."

For Payton, the opportunity to make a difference while building meaningful relationships with coworkers and community members makes his work especially rewarding. Every donation he receives is part of something bigger, helping support programs and services that change lives throughout the region.

Payton is proud to be part of a team that works together to create positive change while serving the Ellsworth community.

It's the combination of meaningful work, strong relationships, and a mission-driven environment that makes Goodwill unlike any other place he's worked.

Through Goodwill Northern New England's AmeriCorps VISTA Partnership, individuals have the opportunity to build professional skills while helping nonprofit organizations strengthen their communities. For Inti, a Development Associate at Nashua PAL, that experience helped her discover a deeper sense of purpose.

In her role, Inti supports projects that advance Nashua PAL's mission through marketing, communications, fundraising, and community outreach. Along the way, she's gained valuable experience, built meaningful connections, and seen firsthand the impact her work can have on young people and families.

"It's helping people that really brings a lot of joy to me," Inti says.

For Inti, service has been about more than professional growth. Through her AmeriCorps VISTA service, she's developed new skills, grown her confidence, and discovered a passion for helping others succeed.

"The Goodwill Northern New England AmeriCorps program helped me find my purpose," she says.

Stories like Inti's show how service can strengthen communities while creating opportunities for personal and professional growth. We're proud to partner with organizations like Nashua PAL to help build capacity and support the people making a difference every day.
