Dear Bonner students,

Use this workbook during your first one-on-one meeting with your site supervisor in order to discuss the needs of the community partner, your place in the student development model, and your mutual goals for this service experience. Fill out the first two pages of the workbook on your own, then meet with your site supervisor so they may fill out their sections. Then, brainstorm together in creating the best CLA for you and the community partner. Best of luck and enjoy your new service experience!
