About GoodWorx
History
The goodworx Foundation was founded in 2005 with a mission to serve to others. Specifically, we are dedicated to guiding, serving, and teaching youth new ways to conceive their own realities. To that end, The Goodworx Foundation created The MTC Program. The Philosophy of The MTC Program is to broaden the horizons of today’s youth utilizing a unique blend of Mentoring, Tutoring, and Life-Skills Coaching (MTC). This effective combination serves to enhance life skills including focus, tolerance, and understanding to help youth realize their full potential and instill within them the confidence necessary to pursue their dreams.
