Who are the Bonner Leaders?
Bonner Leaders are students who are committed to service and social justice education. Bonner Leaders work with community partner organizations throughout the Bay Area and serve as campus-based social action leaders. In nine years, over 100 Bonner Leaders have fostered connections between SMC and the Bay Area, worked directly with the poor and marginalized, transformed themselves, and created a culture of service and social justice education at the college.
