Youngstown Area Goodwill Industries is pleased to announce two key leadership promotions that reflect the organization's continued growth, strategic direction, and deep commitment to community impact.

Carol Holmes-Chambers — Goodwill has promoted Carol Holmes-Chambers to Vice President of Community and Workforce Development.

Holmes-Chambers joined the organization in December 2024 as Community Solutions Director and has since played a pivotal role in strengthening Goodwill’s presence across the region. Through her leadership, the organization has expanded meaningful partnerships and advanced innovative, collaborative programming designed to create sustainable, long-term impact.

Her work has emphasized co-collaboration and co-creation, bringing community partners together to address real needs and drive collective solutions.

In her new role, Holmes-Chambers will lead the newly formed Community Impact Department, which integrates Goodwill’s Mission Services with broader community and workforce initiatives. This strategic alignment is designed to enhance outcomes, streamline services, and deepen the organization’s impact across the communities it serves.

Celina Williams — Goodwill has also promoted Celina Williams to Vice President of Human Resources.

Since joining the organization as HR Director in June 2025, Williams has been instrumental in strengthening and modernizing the Human Resources function.

Williams brings both expertise and a people-centered approach to her work, with a strong commitment to supporting Goodwill’s employees, strengthening culture, and advancing the organization’s mission.

As Vice President of Human Resources, she will continue leading efforts to enhance HR processes, support leadership development, and ensure employees have the tools and resources they need to succeed.
