| Bonner
Leader Program Start-Up Guide
The following is a brief guide intended
to jump-start the planning process for campuses interested
in participating in the Bonner Program. There are a variety
factors and models to consider when designing and implementing
a Bonner Leader Program. We recommend that interested campuses
review this guide and then contact Robert Hackett at 609-924-6663 or rhackett@bonner.org
at the Bonner Foundation.
Step 1: Evaluating the Fit
In determining if the Bonner Program
is an appropriate fit for your particular campus, it will
be helpful to understand the history and context of the Foundation’s
work and the evolution of the Bonner Program.
The consortium of campuses participating in the Bonner Program,
which has grown to more than 65 campuses nationwide, is driven
by the Bonner Foundation’s mission to “transform
the lives of students, communities, and campuses through service.”
At the heart of that mission is a program design that mobilizes
students to engage in intensive and meaningful community service
while moving along an articulated developmental path. The
unique nature of the program’s multi-year design results
in exciting and transformative experiences for students, campuses
and communities alike.
The Bonner
Leader Program expectations are based on the vision, mission,
and experience of the Bonner Scholar Program over the last
15 years.
