As part of the national Bonner Leaders program, Cal Corps Bonner Leaders serve as social change agents across campus and in the community. By leading other students in programs designed in collaboration with community partners, Bonner Leaders gain practical hands-on leadership skills. In the process, they transform their own lives while taking action aligned with their values. Bonner Leaders have lead Cal Corps programs like Alternative Breaks, Cal in Local Government (formerly Cal in Berkeley), and Cal in the Capital, and they serve as Volunteer Managers at more than 15 nonprofits and schools in Berkeley and Oakland. The wider Cal campus benefits from the service of Bonner Leaders as they provide UC Berkeley students the opportunity to provide not only direct, hands on service, but also to serve as interns and conduct community-based research.
