We are proud to celebrate our six incredible 2026 Project SEARCH graduates at Deaconess Gateway Hospital.

Project SEARCH is a 10-month internship program that helps recent high school graduates with disabilities gain real-world job experience and prepare for the workforce. Throughout the year, interns worked alongside our teams in environmental services, cafeteria services, material management, nursing units and the gift shop — building confidence, independence and lifelong skills.

Thursday was an amazing celebration honoring this year’s Project SEARCH interns!

Project SEARCH is a one-year, intensive transition-to-work program located onsite at Deaconess Gateway and The Women’s Hospital. The program provides individuals with disabilities the opportunity to gain employability skills and real-world work experience that prepares them for competitive community employment.

We are incredibly proud of our interns and the growth they have shown this year in developing workplace skills, professionalism, independence, and self-confidence. Since 2009, the success of this program has been made possible through the strong collaborative partnerships between Deaconess Health System, the Warrick County School Corporation, the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, and SIRS.

Project SEARCH is an integral part of the SIRS mission and vision: building relationships that support individuals with disabilities on their journey toward independence in communities that provide equal opportunities for everyone to live their best lives.

The SIRS Resource Navigator had the wonderful opportunity to partner with South Spencer Middle School to host an interactive Transition Fair on Tuesday May 5th, 2026!

This engaging event was designed to help 8th graders practice essential skills as they prepare for their exciting journey into high school.

A huge thank you to our incredible partners who helped make this event a resounding success for the students:
• South Spencer Middle School
• Success Through Mentoring
• Deaconess
• VUJ STEM Academy
• Spencer County Head Start

The energy was high, and the students truly had a blast preparing for their next big chapter!

🌮 A Special Cinco de Mayo Treat!
We also want to extend a massive shout-out and thank you to Los Panchos in Rockport! This fantastic local business generously donated delicious chips and salsa to help us celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Both students and faculty thoroughly enjoyed the festive treat!

Community partnerships like these are what make our programs so impactful. Thank you to everyone who invested their time and resources into supporting our youth!
