Project SEARCH Arkansas: ACCESS Initiative

Another successful Project SEARCH year is officially in the books! We are beyond proud of our 2025–2026 class and can’t wait to watch each of them continue to grow and succeed in their employment journey.

This group has overcome challenges, stepped outside of their comfort zones, gained valuable experience, and shown incredible perseverance along the way. Each intern has left their mark on our program and will forever be a part of the Project SEARCH family.

To our graduates: we are so proud of each of you and all that you’ve accomplished. Your future is bright — now go do big things!

After this month, the Ouachita County Medical Center (OCMC) Project SEARCH site will officially close. This program is part of the ACCESS Initiative in partnership with Arkansas Rehabilitation Services. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to have served this community and to have been part of so many meaningful journeys along the way.

Working with our interns, families, educators, business partners, and community supporters has been an incredible experience. Together, we celebrated growth, achievements, and opportunities that made a lasting impact on so many lives through Project SEARCH.

The ACCESS mission, Expanding Individual Potential Through Innovative Instruction, has remained at the heart of everything we do, and we are proud of the difference this program has made.

Thank you to everyone who supported, encouraged, and believed in our program over the years. Your kindness, partnership, and dedication will always be appreciated. 💙
