Thank you so much for your interest in the Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH) Auxiliary’s ACHiever program.

The ACHiever program, founded to allow ninth grade students a unique opportunity to network directly with medical professionals and their peers and to raise funds and awareness for ACH, has been ongoing in the community for over two decades.

This program exposes young people to ACH, introducing them to a wide variety of medical careers and encouraging the importance of philanthropy. In addition to the community service hours earned through educational program attendance, ACHiever participants may earn additional service hours working in non-patient care areas – up to 40+ hours.

Sessions occur monthly from October to April with a variety of community service opportunities offered through the seven-month program. Educational sessions take place one Monday of each month from 5:30-6:45 p.m. Educational sessions may include presentations or tours of departments and units like the Angel One Transport Department, David M. Clark Center for Safe and Healthy Children, Injury Prevention, Arkansas Children’s Heart Institute, Arkansas Children’s Research Institute and more! The program culminates in April with a graduation ceremony and dinner for ACHievers and their parents.
