Community Services/Non-Profits in Johnstown, PA

“Large thrift store with lots of variety. New items arriving almost constantly. But they also go out the door quick so you have to be there at the right time if you're looking for something specific.”

“The new treadmills rock and the weight room has plenty of goodies to do almost any workout you could put together. the bonus is there's a pool and it's rarely packed.”

“Exceptional place! Very nice staff and the pool is amazing! Many classes offered for swimming for all ages. There is a small gym also and they offer the availability for birthday party rental on the weekends.”

“I keep seeing bad reviews for this location and y’all are crazy; this is the most stocked and affordable goodwill I have ever been to. The prices at a goodwill near a big city are 3x what they are here. And there’s so much to look at. Would you rather it be barren? Didn’t think so! Be lucky you have such a good goodwill here. Lines are not bad. If it’s long I wait 10 min max. Don’t be a baby.”

“I'm a current student here of 2023.For the short review: The food is decent and NOT expired (I come from the Culinary branch and can confirm that all food made here is always made fresh), the education's decent and the community here's welcoming.For the longer detailed review:I will say this upfront, this college was basically made for people with disabilities. The percentage of people who have serious disabilities will be significantly higher. There are some who you'll find are more on the annoying side, the others who are more normal. But overall, the people here are very tame.A message for students who plan on coming here: Hey, as long as you can handle some social interactions, people running their mouths and stay out of trouble, you'll do just fine. And I will say, literally no one here cares about your business unless you make it our business, or they're very nosy, in which case you can tell them to zip it and get lost.Consider getting an alarm clock (Use your phone if needed), always lock your doors, make a few close friends/people you can trust, pay attention to your surroundings and what goes on around you, and do your schoolwork. Everything else you'll learn naturally on your own, like making a schedule for yourself, doing your own laundry, getting along with roommates, etc.For the parents: Trust your child and the staff here. This is likely their first time stepping out into the world on their own and very well will be the day you stop holding their hand through life. Know that the security's very tight here; all dorms have locks, security guards and cameras everywhere to keep students safe and double rooms have drawers you can lock with padlocks. So don't worry, the place is very safe. As for accessibility, public transportation's easily accessible (Busses run by here everyday), we have classes to educated students on proper ways to handle emotions and converse with their colleagues, we support all kinds of disabilities and there are trained counselors, doctors and psychiatrists on site that can assist you.Case in point, HGAC's ready for whatever you throw at us. Sign up with OVR, get a sponsor from them if you're a part of low income and you can get your child in with no cost.”
