1:1 101 Workshop with Michael Zirkel, Berry CollegeBonner Foundation
Presented at the 2018 Bonner Fall Directors Meeting by Michael Zirkel, Berry College. Who meets with the Bonner student? What's the script? When in the semester/year? Where does it all happen? How is the 1:1 scheduled? The why, however, is universal: be-cause we care. At Berry, each student within the Bonner Program will meet with a member
of the Bonner staff at least once per semester (in addition to other members of the Berry and Rome community). This workshop aims to highlight the 1:1 sessions that have shown success at Berry College within the Bonner Scholars Program, while sharing the opportunity for collaboration with other institutions on what has worked (or even what hasn't).
The document provides guidance for starting a new Bonner Leaders program. It outlines steps to staff the program, secure funding, recruit the first class of Bonner Leaders, set up a training and service calendar, develop community partnerships for placements, and connect to the Bonner Network for support. Key aspects include deciding on a coordinator, recruiting student interns, securing work-study stipends, developing marketing materials, planning recruitment and selecting a first class of 5-20 students, and identifying initial community partners and service placements.
This document outlines the key components of Bonner Cornerstones, a program for community service and civic engagement. It discusses the following elements:
1. Orientation helps students build community, learn program expectations, and get to know the college and local community through activities.
2. A first year trip provides cohort experiences for freshmen to delve into issues like poverty through service, education, and reflection.
3. Summer service internships of at least 280 hours each summer immerse students in developmental placements.
4. A second year exchange exposes sophomores to the national Bonner network through conferences focused on issues and activism.
5. Capstone projects in the junior and senior years engage students in
Explanation of how the Bonner Program can help students have "an access to education, and an opportunity to serve" while catalyzing change on your campus.
The Bonner Program provides intensive community service opportunities for students with financial need who are committed to social justice. Bonner students serve 8-10 hours per week and have meaningful summer internships. They receive training and reflection to develop as citizens and leaders. Bonner staff develop partnerships, teach and coach students, empower their development, and manage the program, including student placements, meetings, retreats, recruitment and summer planning. The year at a glance outlines the sequencing of activities, trainings, and events throughout the academic year and summer.
The document discusses best practices for recruiting Bonner Leaders, including:
- Recruiting students who are committed to a 4-year service requirement and are eligible for Federal Work Study, aiming for diversity across gender and the student body.
- Collaborating with admissions by designating liaisons, making annual presentations, identifying eligible students, and aligning recruitment timelines.
- Using a formal application process and on-campus interviews to evaluate interested students.
- Developing a clear online identity that promotes the Bonner program's impact and links it to the institution's mission to effectively recruit the best candidates.

Participants are then asked to discuss how they could conduct a similar study and expand community engagement opportunities on their own campuses.
This session aims promote learning and exchange of ideas on
how we can help students all across campus pursue careers
with purpose and meaning, especially ones that make the world
a better place. The session will engage students in a dialogue
about career goals, academic study, service experience, career
support, and group discussions based on career interests.
This opening session sets the stage for a dynamic and informative
conference focused on driving positive social change. We'll be
inspired and rooted in a sense of place by President Floyd and our
student speakers then dive into two frameworks focused on
equipping individuals to be change agents in their communities.
Participants can expect to gain valuable insights, engage in
thought-provoking discussions and be inspired by the stories of
those who work towards moving the metaphorical mountains of
social inequality, injustice, and systemic challenges.

Community organizing has always played a prominent role in the nonprofit world. But what about long-term, sustainable activism work? Power building is a newer sect of community organizing in which people can organize around a certain issue creating power within targeted communities. The Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC) and its 501(c)(4) TIRRC Votes has created a movement across the state, and they build power within our immigrant and refugee communities through voter engagement and services such as legal aid, educational resources, etc. It is vital to recognize the diverse forms in which we can organize around election cycles beyond simply registering people to vote. If you're interested in either immigrant and refugee rights, voter engagement, or unconventional means of organizing, this would be the place for you!
