Fellows FAQ’S

Applicant FAQs

Are JAARS fellows paid?

Yes! JAARS Fellows are paid $11 per hour.

What is JAARS looking for in candidates?

A JAARS Fellows candidate must be a believer with a deep and growing relationship with God, can agree to the JAARS statement of faith, and embraces the vision and mission of JAARS. Beyond that, we require an Associates or Bachelor’s degree (or life/experience equivalent – i.e. YWAM Discipleship Training School, relevant work experience, etc.) and a learner attitude.

What is the benefits package like for JAARS Fellows?

Beyond the $11 per hour compensation, the Fellows benefits package includes paid holidays, sick days, and vacation days. Health insurance is also available for those who need it. Additional benefits include community outings, life hacks (life skills classes), and enrollment in the Intercultural Communications Course and the Perspectives on the World Christian Movement course.

How many days off do fellows get?

Fellows receive 10 paid sick days and 10 paid vacation days after their initial 90 days. In addition, there are at least 8 paid holidays.

Beyond the work hours, what is expected of fellows?

Fellows are expected to participate in one life hack and one outing a month. This is approximately 6 hours per month outside of work hours. Fellows spend 1-2 hours per week in intentional community time with their cohort(s). This time could include games, food, conversation, etc.

What requirements are part of work hours/paid time?

All one-hour spiritual coaching and professional coaching times are during work hours. During the Perspectives on the World Christian Movement course, fellows spend 6 hours on content during work hours. Life hacks and outings are not part of paid time but will enhance your overall experience as a Fellow.

How will my role as a Fellow contribute to the vision and mission of JAARS?

All fellows help departments at JAARS fulfill crucial roles that will in turn support mission workers overseas. Each position contributes to the vision and mission of JAARS in different ways. This is a great topic to discuss in the second interview with the hiring manager.

Are there any opportunities for fellows to become staff members post-fellowship?

Yes. Historically, we have had approximately 39% of fellows join JAARS staff after the completion of their fellowship. Some of those have filled short-term roles, while others have filled long-term staff roles. If there is an interest in staying at JAARS after the fellowship, fellows are encouraged to discuss potential opportunities with their supervisor/professional coach and the HR Director.

When will I know if I have been accepted?

After you have gone through an initial interview, you will be invited to a Hiring Manager interview where, if the HR team and hiring manager feel confident in you as the top choice, you will receive a formal offer letter to join JAARS Fellows.

What do I do after I have been accepted to Fellows?

Celebrate this exciting, new step. Also, complete all of the onboarding paperwork that is sent to you by the HR Fellow and Fellows Coordinator. If you have any questions about that paperwork, reach out via phone or email.

Fellows Life and Culture FAQs

What are the accommodations in my apartment?

Fellows rent fully-furnished apartments at the JAARS Center. Usually these are shared, and each person has their own room and bathroom. Apartments include a kitchen, cooking appliances, living room, one or two bedrooms, and one or two bathrooms. Monthly rent is $100, including utilities, internet, and laundry facilities.

What should I bring with me when I move to JAARS?

Apartments are fully furnished, so only bring what you really need, such as clothes and personal supplies. Decorations can also never hurt! Check out photos and a video walkthrough of one of the two bedroom, two bath apartments at this link.

What are some community-building activities involved in Fellows?

Fellows participate in approximately one life hack per month to add various life skills to their repertoires. We also do approximately one fun outing every other month. These are just the scheduled activities; you will have plenty of time for recreational community building activities with your cohort. Read more about outings and life hacks in the “How do we invest in our fellows?” section of this webpage.

Am I responsible for my own meals?

With the exception of occasional meals during outings and life hacks, fellows are responsible for their own meals. To encourage community, fellows are asked to eat meals together often. Campus housing is equipped with a kitchen that includes pots, pans, dishes, and utensils.

Where is my mail delivered?

While you are at JAARS, you will use the following addresses:
Letters:
JAARS/Fellows
Your Name
PO Box 248
Waxhaw, NC 28173

Packages:
JAARS/Fellows
Your Name

Waxhaw, NC 28173

Do I need a car?

The JAARS Center is located about 6 miles from Waxhaw, North Carolina, and 10 miles from Lancaster, South Carolina. While a car is not required for JAARS Fellows, most people find it helpful to bring their own car.

What is it like to live in the Waxhaw area?

JAARS is located 30 minutes south of the outer beltway of Charlotte, North Carolina, and 20 minutes from Lancaster, South Carolina. We are 10 minutes from Main Street in “downtown” Waxhaw.

JAARS is located on a beautiful 500+ acre rural campus with recreational areas and a swimming pool, library, dining room, health clinic, RV Park, childcare facilities, and youth ministries. In the community, one can find game night groups, volleyball groups, Bible studies, as well as other special events.

Waxhaw, North Carolina, is a family-friendly, historic, small town, surrounded by a natural backdrop of rolling hills, horse country, and outdoor recreation. It has creative and performing arts, vibrant music, antiques, and good old-fashioned parades.

Lancaster, South Carolina, is also a historic, small town with a state university campus, shopping areas, several festivals and events, as well as a Christmas parade each year.

What recreational activities are there in the Waxhaw area?

Recreational activities in the Waxhaw area include escape rooms, mini golf, beautiful parks, delicious places to eat, and much more! Here are some examples of what is in the area:

  • Andrew Jackson State Park
  • Rock Hill Riverwalk
  • 40 Acre Rock Heritage Park
  • Anne Springs Close Greenway
  • Six Mile Creek Greenway
  • Mini-Golf
  • Historic Brattonsville

Why does the Fellows program have us take ICC and Perspectives?

These classes enhance your overall understanding of your place in the Great Commission and how to effectively engage in it. Our God is a missional God, therefore JAARS values missions. Both of these courses prepare kingdom workers. Whether God calls you to missions or the marketplace after your fellowship, you will be equipped to advocate for missions in all future endeavors.

Tell me more about Perspectives.

Perspectives is structured like a college-level course. Read the course overview here. Fellows take the course at a certificate level which includes videos, readings, reviews, discussions, and an integrated project.

Tell me more about ICC.

JAARS offers an interactive, 4 week course that trains and prepares missionaries to serve the Lord in multicultural, multigenerational teams, whether overseas or stateside. In ICC, you will learn how to further your interpersonal skills, understand differing worldviews, and deepen your relationship with God.

Fellows attend this course as their first month of the fellowship. JAARS compensates fellows for 40-hours per week as though they were working and also covers the registration cost (approximately $900). Upon completion of the course, they join their departments in their roles for the remaining 10 months of the fellowship.

What does the average day look like for a JAARS fellow?

All fellows positions are full-time (40 hours per week). Most positions work 8:00 am to 5:00 with an hour for lunch. However, work schedules vary for certain positions that require involvement in evening and weekend programs.

What does spiritual development look like on a practical level?

You will meet weekly with a spiritual coach, who will get to know you, and ultimately disciple you into a more mature follower of Christ. Your spiritual coach will be assigned to you after you’re given the opportunity to interact with multiple spiritual coaches and you have provided input as to which individual you’d enjoy working with.

What does professional development look like on a practical level?

You will have a professional coach whom you will meet with weekly, this individual also happens to be your manager/supervisor. They will work with you through the various aspects of your role, talking to you about areas of interest for you, the parts of the job you may not like. They are there to help you navigate your job and even into your career beyond JAARS.

How are JAARS, SIL International, and Wycliffe related?

JAARS partners closely with SIL International, 100+ organizations of the Wycliffe Global Alliance, and with other local and global organizations. The majority of our supported staff are Wycliffe members (their funding and sending organization) assigned to JAARS, or seconded to SIL International and located at JAARS.

Additionally, you will take the Highlands Ability Battery and will receive career advisement from a Highlands Consultant.

Tell me more about Highlands Ability Battery.

The Highlands Ability Battery (HAB) is a human assessment tool that objectively measures your natural abilities by asking you to perform specific tasks or exercises. As part of the Highlands Whole Person Model, the HAB is the foundation and starting point to identify the career best suited for you.

The HAB is unique in that it measures your abilities based on performance rather than perception. Exercises such as recreating designs from memory, manipulating blocks in space, and putting images in logical sequence are some of the virtual tasks you are asked to perform within a set amount of time. Results based on timed performance are far more reliable than results based on self-perception or personal opinion.

JAARS Interns’ Hiring Process

This guide details the steps we take to ensure a thorough and communicative hiring process. From job creation to onboarding, this list helps candidates understand where they are in the process and what to expect next.

  1. Prayer
    Before application season, our team goes to the Lord in prayer and asks that he would lead the right candidates to apply and that the team would honor him with their selection.

  2. Post and Review
    The Internship is posted on various sites, including the JAARS website and Handshake. Applications are submitted through the JAARS Applicant Tracking System (ATS). Applicants create an account in the ATS and complete the application, selecting the project tracks in which they are most interested. If more than one project track is of interest, an applicant can mark up to three tracks. The team then reviews all applications and resumes submitted.
  3. Screen and First Interview
    After the team reviews and screens candidates, they invite qualified applicants to an initial video interview with the current Human Resources Fellow. The purpose of the  interview is to assess competencies and cultural fit, among other considerations.
  4. Second Interview
    The Human Resources Fellow then provides information on a qualified candidate to the Interns Coordinator for further review and a second-round video interview. This interview includes the interviewee, the Interns Coordinator, and the Human Resources Fellow.
  5. Reference Checks
    If a candidate has a successful second interview, the Human Resources Fellow conducts checks with the references provided on the candidate’s application. Once those references are completed, the Fellows Admin Team, along with hiring managers, decide which candidates to invite to join JAARS Fellows.
  6. Explore & Assign Projects
    With gathered information from the first two interviews and the reference checks, the team then determines the best open projects within the applicants chosen project tracks.
  7. Third Interview
    Once likely projects are selected, applicants are invited to a video interview with the Interns Coordinator, Human Resources Fellow, and the project manager to explore team dynamics and project details.
  8. Offer Letter
    Official offer letters are sent to four candidates for each Interns Cohort. Candidates typically have one–two weeks to respond to offer letters.
  9. Offer Acceptance and Onboarding
    Once candidates accept their offers, the current Human Resources Fellow coordinates the completion of criminal background checks and all onboarding paperwork. New interns respond to correspondence from the Human Resources Fellow and the Interns Coordinator as their start date approaches.

The hiring process takes anywhere from 30–120 days. The process varies for individuals depending on candidate pool and application completion date.

JAARS Fellows’ hiring process

This guide helps detail the steps we take to ensure a thorough and communicative hiring process. From job creation to onboarding, this list helps you understand where you are in the process and what to expect next.

  1. PRAYER
    Before posting a position, we – the Fellows Admin Team – go to the Lord in prayer and ask that He would lead the right candidates to apply and that we would honor Him with our selection.
  2. POST & REVIEW
    The job gets posted on various sites including the JAARS website and Handshake, among others. We then work to review all applications and resumes submitted. Applications are submitted through our applicant tracking system (ATS). Applicants select the position they are most interested in, create an account in our ATS, and complete the application. If more than one position is of interest, there is a place on the application to mark a second and third position preference.
  3. SCREEN & INVITE
    We review and screen candidates, inviting qualified applicants to an initial phone interview with the current HR Fellow. In this interview, we assess competencies and cultural fit, among other things.
  4. SECOND INTERVIEW
    We then pass along qualified candidates to the hiring manager for further review and a second-round Zoom interview. This interview includes the interviewee, Fellows Coordinator, and hiring manager.
  5. REFERENCE CHECKS
    If a candidate has a successful second interview, the Human Resources Fellow conducts checks with the references provided on the candidate’s application. Once those references are completed, the Fellows Admin Team, along with hiring managers, decide which candidates to invite to join JAARS Fellows.
  6. OFFER LETTER
    Official offer letters are sent to six candidates for each cohort. Candidates typically have one–two weeks to respond to offer letters.
  7. OFFER ACCEPTANCE & ONBOARDING
    Once a candidate accepts their offer, the current HR Fellow coordinates the completion of the criminal background check and all onboarding paperwork. New fellows then register for ICC and stay attentive from correspondence from the HR Fellow and Fellows Coordinator as their start date approaches.

Our hiring process takes anywhere from 30-120 days. The process varies for individuals depending on the position, candidate pool, applicant date, and the cohort for which a candidate is applying.
