UPDATE Week of September 4

And We're Off

The Fellows are off and running. Week one was big on community building and getting our feet underneath us.

Community

We had so much fun cheering on the Deacs at the first football game of the season. Thank you to those who gifted us your tickets!

First Days

This week was also week one of work. Always smart to start off with a hearty breakfast.

Dharma is enjoying her view from the 8th Floor of 500 West. Jacob is photobombing!

The kids reluctantly posed for their first day as well


Freedom Ride

The meatiest and most significant part of the week was going on a Freedom Ride. 

Terrance Hawkins led the way in only the way he knows how. 

It was so helpful to hear the story of this city from the mouth of the lion instead of the hunter. 

Couldn't have asked for a better way to spend a Friday morning. 

Pickleball

Noah taught pickleball all summer so he is our resident pro around the house

We have hit the courts multiple times throughout the week. 

Including about 20 of us on Friday evening! 

Spikeball

Spikeball has also been a fun way to enjoy the last few weeks of summer. 

Ned is still learning the rules it appears

As is Haley...

Hanging Rock

Some Fellows Alums took several Fellows to one of our favorite spots on Saturday. 

Two thumbs up from Marley Cate

Needs

We are still trying to land a few jobs for a few Fellows.

25-28 hours a week. 

Opportunities for hard-working, servant-hearted, delightful-to-be-around people...

Let us know.

Recruiting

We are already chatting with two folks for next year! We would LOVE to fill up fast next year. It would certainly save us some stress! Let us know if you know some planner-aheaders!

Giving

Speaking of alleviating stress. Giving to the Fellows is another great way to take the pressure off!

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...
