Fellow Life

Fellows are deeply involved in the lives of Prep students through their daily activities, and the residential staff works hard to pour into our Fellows in return. Here is just a snapshot of activities Fellows can be involved in throughout the week.

Student Classes

Fellows serve in the classroom as paraprofessionals, assisting Barnabas Prep Educators with lessons. They also have the opportunity to step up and lead classes.

Community Integration

Fellows lead students as job coaches in real job settings in the Branson community. Various partnerships in Branson allow our students to volunteer and better prepare for job placements such as restaurants, barber shops, retail stores, music theaters and more.

Dorm Life

As students strive towards independent living with the oversight of residential staff, Fellows assist by walking alongside students and supporting their development of life skills such as housekeeping, cooking, room cleaning, laundry, and hygiene.

Campus Life

Some of the most memorable moments and teaching opportunities with students come from evenings and weekends spent on campus. These opportunities serve to build and strengthen relationships between Fellows and Residential Staff as well as maximize time together.

Fellow Development

Fellows have various opportunities to develop spiritually, professionally, and in their role on a team. Throughout the year Fellows participate in a bible study led by a Barnabas Prep staff member and learn from various speakers on topics such as financial stewardship, career exploration, and resume building. Fellows are discipled by a trusted mentor from the Branson area, and are paired up with a host family from our local community for home-cooked meals and rich fellowship. Overall, the Fellows have the opportunity to glean wisdom from God's Word and God's people as as they serve Him.
