🎓 Congratulations, Project SEARCH graduates!

On Friday, VOA Southeast proudly joined fellow community partners in celebrating 13 students who completed Project SEARCH, a life-changing transition-to-work program for young adults with disabilities.

Over the past year, these graduates gained hands-on workplace experience, built confidence, developed valuable job skills, and prepared for meaningful futures in the workforce and their communities. 💙

As a longtime Project SEARCH partner through our Supported Employment program, VOA Southeast is honored to help participants transition from the classroom into the workplace through individualized job coaching, mentorship, workplace advocacy, and ongoing support services.

This graduation was more than a ceremony — it was a celebration of determination, partnership, and what’s possible when schools, employers, families, and community organizations come together to invest in potential.

Today, we’re grateful for community partners who show up for our veterans. 🇺🇸❤️

Thank you to Rotary Club of Mobile and Roosters Downtown for recognizing and supporting the work happening at Eagle’s Landing, VOA Southeast’s transitional housing program for veterans.

Deb Murph, Director of Eagle’s Landing, shared with the Rotary today about the impact of stable housing, supportive services, and community partnerships in helping veterans move forward.

During the event, Roosters Downtown, a longtime supporter, presented a donation check to Deb through their No Vets Left Behind initiative. The Rotary Club of Mobile also made a donation in Deb’s honor to Ozanam Charitable Pharmacy, a vital partner helping uninsured individuals, including Eagle’s Landing residents, access needed prescription medications.

Together, these partners are helping veterans access the care, stability, and hope they deserve.

What an incredible experience during United Way of Southwest Alabama’s ! 🌱💚

We are grateful to the amazing volunteers from Trustmark who joined VOA Southeast staff and the individuals we serve through our Community Enrichment Center for people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). Together, we planted vegetables, herbs, strawberries, flowers, and more while bringing new life and beauty to our garden spaces.

More importantly, this day created meaningful moments of connection, inclusion, and joy for the individuals we serve. Seeing community members invest their time and heart into their space reminded them they are valued, supported, and part of a community that cares.

Mental health challenges often impact every part of a person’s life — housing, relationships, employment, and stability. At VOA Southeast, we believe healing begins with compassion, support, and a safe place to call home.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we’re sharing Bo’s story — a powerful reminder that recovery and hope are possible when people are given the support they need. From addiction and instability to recovery and purpose, Bo’s journey reflects the life-changing impact of housing, mental health services, and community support.

Over the past several months, we’ve had the privilege of working alongside an incredible group of The University of South Alabama School of Computing students—An, Zach, Conner, and Gavin—on a Technology Inventory Project that is already making a meaningful impact across VOA Southeast.

From day one, they approached this work with curiosity, professionalism, and a willingness to learn. They didn’t just complete a project—they helped us build a clearer, more structured understanding of our technology environment, laying the groundwork for stronger decision-making and future innovation.

On Thursday, they delivered their final presentation—and it was nothing short of outstanding. Confident, thoughtful, and incredibly well done. It was clear how much time, effort, and care they put into this work.

More importantly, they showed what it looks like to adapt to real-world challenges, collaborate across teams, and create solutions that truly matter.

As they prepare to graduate next week, we just want to say—we’re proud of you!

Congratulations, An, Zach, Conner, and Gavin. 🎓
We can’t wait to see what you do next.
