The Bonner Leaders will plan and implement projects such as community-wide training events and a cross-sector conference. Other roles will include:

Outreach is often grassroots such as impromptu visits to businesses and organizations as well as networking at community gatherings.
Training Program Implementation – Bonner Leaders will be responsible for coordinating training opportunities in West Berkeley. They will plan and coordinate logistics for training to ensure their success.

The Bonner Leader would coordinate the entire training while other Red Cross entities such as the Red Cross Club at Cal would teach.
Education - Bonner Leaders will be trained to teach CPR, elements of First Aid, and emergency preparedness curriculum.
