Bonner Leaders Program
The Bonner Program is intended to heighten the overall education students receive at Wagner College. This intensive, multi-year program asks students to engage in ongoing civic and community based work and helps them develop the experience, skills, knowledge, and values necessary to make their work meaningful and lasting. Grounded in civic engagement, students have opportunities to get involved with on-campus initiatives, faculty projects, and the vibrant Staten Island community.
Part of a national organization, Bonner Leaders at Wagner join the Bonner Foundation mission to “transform students, communities, and campuses through service.” As participants in the program, Bonners have access to this national network through conferences, program visits, and leadership committees.
Designed to enhance the students’ academic experiences by fostering real-world, community connections, the Bonner Program is made up of a unique cohort of driven and committed students. Marrying the Civic Engagement Minor with this community immersive program allows students to graduate with a holistic skill set to best prepare them to be emerging leaders in their field.
