Guidelines

If you’re planning to do Summer Service, here’s what you need to know to get your position and summer funding approved.

If you have any questions or need help finding a position or partner, contact the Program Director.

1. What’s Required

   • Your position should be with a non-profit, government agency, or similar organization that fits the Bonner mission of community engagement.
   • Your summer service must be full-time for at least seven weeks and complete a minimum of 280 hours.
     • You can serve at more than one site during the summer. If you do, please submit this form twice, once for each site.
     • You can petition as an exception for one of their two summers of service to:
       • engage in science lab research with faculty mentorship with demonstrated community impact can be a summer placement for one of the two required summers of service, or
       • serve with a for-profit company if their summer role can be shown to have a larger social impact, particularly in social corporate responsibility.

2. Who’s Your Partner?

   • You’ll need to find a community partner to host you for the summer.
   • They should have a supervisor who will work with you throughout your service.

3. How to Submit Your Position:

   • Complete the Summer of Service Position Proposal Form (see below) with all the details about your position and partner. The forms asks you to include information:
     • the name, address, and website of your host organization
     • the contact name and information for your site supervisor
     • your position title and description
   • Once you submit the form, I’ll review it and let you know if it’s approved or if we need to make any adjustments.

4. Summer Service Funding

   • You are eligible for $4,500 for each of two summers of service.
     • The $3,000 in Summer Living Stipend will be disbursed in two installments: the first at the start of the summer and the second halfway through the summer.
     • The $1,500 Summer Earnings Stipend will be disbursed when you have met all the summer service requirements.
   • To receive the second installment, you must complete half of their required 280 summer service hours by the halfway point and submit a mid-summer hour log. A final hour log must be submitted at the end of the summer as well.
   • Staff will follow up with you at the mid-summer and end-of-summer check-ins to review hour logs and ensure progress toward completion.
   • Submit your Bonner Summer Service Funding Proposal (see below).
   • Unused summer funds in one year can be carried over to the next summer. Receipts or documentation of fund usage are not required.

5. What Happens After Your Service?

   • When your Summer Service is done, you’ll submit your Service Site Reflection Form (see below) to share what you learned and achieved during your time.
