Jersey City, NJ
Bridge to Employment
I wanted to participate in the Bonner program because I always enjoyed giving back to the community and wanted to make an impact in people's lives outside of my hometown. I also wanted to make connections that would last a lifetime.
My favorite Bonner memory was going to New Orleans freshmen year and fixing houses that Hurricane Katrina had ruined. I learned how to use a nail-gun and how to install floorboards.
My advice would be to stay open to all the opportunities you get from Bonner. Explore all the different paths Bonner gives you and don't be afraid to ask questions.
