Why Bonner?

I am a firm believer in public service as a means to raise awareness and advocate. Since high school, I have been passionate about social reform and the Bonner program was a great way to learn more and participate in meaningful service while working towards change.

Favorite TCNJ Bonner Memory

I thoroughly enjoyed my first time driving to NOLA as a trip leader aiding the freshman. Despite the strenuously long drive, it was a wonderful bonding experience.

Advice for Prospective Bonners

I would recommend that they spend time finding what types of service most align with their interests and passions to make a more informed decision about joining Bonner and selecting their sites.
