Last night’s BBC2 documentary, Requiem for Detroit, mentioned the Goodwill Deconstruction programme run by Goodwill Industries of Greater Detroit. The programme offers unemployed people, including ex-prisoners, the chance of rehabilitation through gainful employment while learning new skills deconstructing derelict buildings to salvage or recycle the building materials.
You can see a short video about the programme below:
If this worthwhile programme piques your interest, why not check out some of Goodwill Industries of Greater Detroit’s other programmes on their website like their youth training programme in partnership with Ben & Jerry’s ice cream (http://www.goodwilldetroit.org/programs/ben-and-jerrys.aspx#).
