Welcome to New Vision
Re-Energizing Communities One Person at a Time
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.
Apply for the Barnabas Project Fellowship
Faith-Based Leadership Program for Young Adults in Appalachia
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.
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.
