UPDATE Week of September 11

These Fellows shine so bright

Labor Day Round Table

We invited Fellows Alums to join us for a special Labor Day Potluck Fellows Round Table


It was so fun to see 40 plus folks join us for a great night of laughter and story


The dogs were particularly happy


The festivities went well into the evening.

A tradition that is growing every year!

Leader Lunch

We had THE BEST time with John Bost in his cabin in Clemmons. John as usual brought his rare gift of storytelling. A particular highlight this year was his wife LaDonna. She dropped by then went on to steal the show! What a dynamic duo. Thank you John!

Salem tour

Ginny Tobiason, the Pastor at Home Moravian Church and one of the most well researched archivists of Salem history, gave us a great morning of sharing the stories behind the sights of Salem.

I need to record her and let everybody hear what she has to say. 



We stand on the prayers of many many people. We were called here to continue the chain for generations to come...

Palmer's Bday

Palmer's Bday was Saturday! The Fellows had a fun time taking him out to the Latino Festival and then back to the house for a game night!

Latino Festival

The Latino Festival is such a fiesta!


It sticks to you


Lia is a major celebrity there! It was so fun for me to be the husband of such a famous person.

Bible Study

I dropped by church on Sunday to see Marley Cait leading a Bible Study with gals.


Rope Swing

The Fellows decided to construct a rope swing at Crossnore!



It's in process. 

Julia Graduates!

Year one Fellow Julia Lovett Schaffner finally finished her MBA in Nonprofit Management. Now we just need to get these folks back here so she can take our job!


Raiders Win

Anna Rose led the team to a sudden death victory over rival West on Thursday.

June 2025

  June brought a change of pace as our formal Fellows programming came to a close. But that hasn’t stopped the Fellows from enjoying some summer fun! They've been transitioning into fuller work schedules, searching for housing for the year ahead, and even managed to sneak away for a beach trip. Recruitment Above is a photo of the Madisons from this past year. One fun fact about Madison Avery (left) is that she joined the Fellows program just two weeks before it started—right in the middle of her sister’s wedding celebrations! Even with such a quick turnaround, Madison jumped in wholeheartedly and has had a truly transformative year. She fully embraced the experience and is now stepping into a full-time role with her Fellows employer. We’re still filling spots for our 2025–2026 class. So, if you know a recent grad or young adult who’s still figuring out their next step, send them our way —Madison is proof that great things can start even at the last minute. Oklahoma! We have a star...

May 2025

May 2025  Above, you'll see how it started versus how it ended. May has been a bittersweet month as we officially wrapped up the ninth class of Winston-Salem Fellows. What a year it has been—full of growth, laughter, challenges, and transformation. Truly, an incredible year worth celebrating! World Relief Race Earlier this spring, the Fellows were deeply impacted by our time with Jon Musser as we learned about the incredible work World Relief is doing here in the Triad. So when they heard that River Oaks Community Church was hosting a 5K to benefit World Relief, they were all in. And apparently, they brought their A-game—Steve and Ellie both placed in their divisions! Leader Lunches Our final two Leader Lunches were spent with two remarkable individuals. First, we heard from Charlie Barham of Cassia Capital, followed by a meaningful conversation with Amy Carlan, Associate Pastor at First Presbyterian. Classes We wrapped up the year with two of our longest classes. First, Gospel-Cen...

April 2025

April 2025 Update It's our last full month with the Fellows from the class of 2024-2025, and it was a full one! We celebrated as several Fellows received job offers to stay in Winston Salem. A couple are still looking, but we are crossing our fingers that all nine will remain here next year.  Bryn and Dean Got Married! Well, they actually tied the knot back in February but we forgot to mention them in the last update! Bryn and Dean actually met walking down the aisle together for AJ and Bailey's wedding a few years ago. Fortunately for us, they are still in Winston Salem. We had a wonderful time celebrating them and enjoying a reunion of sorts with folks from several Fellows classes.  Ecuador Video! The very talented Jed put together a short video to capture part of our time in Ecuador. We couldn't possibly show everything, but please check it out!   Leader Lunches We had another stellar lineup this month! A fun fact: every speaker was either a current or former employers...
