National Bonner Leaders at Averett University

The Bonner Leader Program at Averett University is an intensive, four-year community leadership opportunity that educates, equips and inspires students to engage our local community and beyond through a partnership with the Corella and Bertram F. Bonner Foundation.

Bonner Leaders are selected through a highly competitive process open to incoming first-year students. The program is committed to the belief that students can address critical social issues, providing them with an avenue to positively affect their campuses, the local community, and the world through leadership and excellence in service. If accepted, students enter an engaging, community-based leadership program in which they will gain the tools to build community relationships and effectively meet regional needs. These students will galvanize the Averett student body, in a continuing effort to develop a culture of service.

Bonner Leader Criteria:

First year students that are strongly demonstrated commitment to community engagement and civic involvement, affinity for working in teams, and high moral character with a 3.0 GPA or higher.
