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.
This is What Democracy Looks Like Powerbuilding -- Cali VanCleveBonner Foundation
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!

Sharing…
• What support do you
need from the
Foundation for other
Bonner Programs to
successfully take on
your new role and
achieve the vision you
have for it?
63. 1. Ensure your school is meeting the staf
fi
ng requirements. If you are not, invite
Foundation Staff for Alignment Visit and engage senior leaders in dialogue with
Foundation Leadership.
2. Review resources and determine the best structure and composition for your
Bonner Leadership Team. We recommend the size should be 15-20% of your
total Bonners (i.e., 12 for a 60 person program; 4 people for a start-up of 20).
3. Personally recruit Senior Interns and Congress Reps for talent and diversity.
4. Examine your site structure also and engage Site / Issue Leaders.
5. Train student leaders in core skills using available workshops.
6. Review Self-Assessment Tool to gauge current level & functioning of your center.
7. Do recommended exercises to identify goals and areas to improve.
8. Work with Foundation staff to identify models and resources.
