In partnership with the Corella and Bertram F. Bonner Foundation, Widener’s Bonner Leaders Program helps students become the change agents of their time—combining leadership development, academic learning, and meaningful community service.
As a Bonner Leader, you will be required to commit to a consistent weekly schedule of 6 hours a week (150 hours per academic year) and submit PA clearances.
After orientation, your first year is all about building core skills. You’ll take part in a series of workshops focused on leadership and service, and join fellow first-year Bonner Leaders on a special first-year trip designed to strengthen teamwork and community connections.
In your second year, you’ll take on greater responsibility through project leadership and specialized training. You’ll also participate in Sophomore Exchange, connecting with Bonner Leaders from other colleges and universities to share ideas, experiences, and inspiration.
Year three focuses on advanced leadership and professional readiness. You’ll step into higher-level leadership roles, gain executive coaching and mentoring, and refine the skills that set you apart in your future career.
In your final year, you’ll complete a capstone project that ties together your service, leadership growth, and career goals. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in an international service trip—putting your experience into action on a global scale.
