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 of the Fellows. We are so grateful for these leaders who take the time each week to share their stories, lessons learned and other wisdom with our group.
Thank you to Christy Bellis (The Go-To), Laura Tassan (Chick-Fil-A Thruway), Yasser Yousef and Brad Cox (The Budd Group), and Denise Heidel (Lewisville Clemmons Chamber of Commerce).
Happy Birthday, Antonio
Antonio's Birthday is actually this summer but we pulled off a surprise early celebration. We can't say enough things about this strong, resilient, humble and joyful man!
Camping
The Fellows wanted to make the most of the beautiful Spring weather and planned a camping trip. As you might be able to see, the weather didn't fully cooperate, but spirts were high, and everyone stayed dry inside their tents.
Enjoying the City
We love seeing the Fellows explore Winston Salem. This month, they had a blast revisiting childhood fun at one of the adult nights at Kaleideum. They also spent time outdoors at a local tulip farm. This nature loving group was thrilled!
City Lights
City Lights Ministry welcomed us to learn about the many ways they serve our community. We were honored to pitch in and help out a bit in their warehouse afterward.
Applications Are Open!
We still have spots available for our 2025-2026 class! If you know a young adult interested in living in Christ-centered community, gaining work experience, learning from various leaders in our city, and so much more, send them to us! They can apply here! If they are hesitant or have questions, we would love to to have the opportunity to share more about what our program has to offer.
