Goods for Good is a small but mighty organization, powered by two full-time staff and numerous volunteer leaders.
Elizabeth Workman
Founder/Director
Elizabeth graduated from George Washington University (BA) and American University (MA) and has worked in the DC non-profit social service sector for more than 30 years. She worked for ten years at Sasha Bruce Youthwork where she provided services to runaway, homeless, and at-risk youth and their families, and managed various programs including home-based counseling, street outreach, substance abuse prevention, and pregnancy prevention. She also served as Deputy Director of Fair Chance where she focused on strengthening community-based nonprofits that work with children in poverty. Goods For Good became a true labor of love in 2018, thanks to the endless support of her husband Mark, and two daughters, Maddie and Charlotte
