INDIANAPOLIS — One year after opening its southeast side location, The Excel Center run by Goodwill is helping adults change their lives.
"Everybody needs an education. Education is everything," Chris McGraw, a recent graduate of the Excel Southeast said."I graduated June 27.""I dropped out of high school in the year 2000. From there I just started working," McGraw said."Every job I had man it was like a ceiling.
