About
The Bonner Leader Program and International Fellow Program is an exciting opportunity for students with a passion for experiential learning and community engagement. Bonner Leaders and International Fellows participate in a carefully curated set of learning experiences that highlight self-awareness, commitment to community, cross-cultural understanding, and collective problem-solving. Small cohorts allow for optimal relationship building, peer mentoring, and individual growth. Interactive workshops, guest speakers, reflective writing, team-building activities, and hands-on experiential learning opportunities are designed to meet students where they are while challenging and supporting them as they venture into new spheres of experience and insight. In partnership with community-based organizations in the Lewiston Auburn area, Bonner Leaders and International Fellows pursue experiential learning projects that address challenges such as food access, safe and affordable housing and transportation, refugee and immigrant empowerment and integration, climate justice, youth literacy and aspirations, legal reform, and senior citizen well-being, among other possibilities.
