Re-Energizing Communities One Person at a Time
New Vision is in the business of changing lives. We provide asset-based approaches to solving some of our society’s biggest challenges, including poverty, drug abuse, joblessness, and homelessness. We make sure our partners are empowered to thrive by providing them with opportunities, mentorships, and supportive communities. After all, when you give a person a fish, you feed them for a day. When you teach a person to fish, you feed them for a lifetime!

Barnabas Project Fellowship | Faith-Based Leadership Program for Young Adults in West Virginia
The Barnabas Project Fellowship is a nine-month leadership and service-learning experience for young adults ages 18–30 who want to grow as servant leaders while creating positive change in Appalachia. Through hands-on service, mentorship, spiritual formation, and monthly cohort gatherings, Fellows develop leadership skills, build meaningful relationships, and discover how faith can be lived out through action.
Barnabas Fellows serve approximately 4–5 hours per week with local community initiatives while participating in mentorship, reflection, and leadership development opportunities. Fellows receive a $400 monthly stipend throughout the program, totaling up to $3,600 over nine months.
Whether your interests include youth mentoring, community development, workforce development, communications, housing, environmental stewardship, or faith-based outreach, the Barnabas Project offers an opportunity to develop your gifts while strengthening your community. If you're ready to grow in faith, leadership, and service alongside a supportive cohort of peers and mentors, we invite you to apply.

The New Vision Story
We know that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by but also by the actions we take. Back in 2009, we realized that by working together with the community partners around us, we could overcome our challenges much more efficiently. By using the treasure trove of resources at our doorstep, we here at New Vision have been able to implement long lasting change in West Virginia, America, and the world beyond. Welcome to our little slice of heaven, where we work together with those who wish to serve others to make a better tomorrow.
