Community Partner Expectations
Community Partner Expectations
- Provide Health Equity Bonner Fellowship fellow(s) with clear expectations, including job descriptions, an orientation to the agency, and a schedule of service hours.

- Communicate with the Fellows directly as much as possible. Feel free to contact the appropriate Coordinator with questions, ideas, if you are having trouble contacting a fellow, or if you are having significant problems with a fellow.
- Please meet with the Health Equity Bonner Fellows at the beginning of each semester and obtain their class schedule. Fellows are NOT permitted to work during class hours.
- Commit to work with the Health Equity Bonner Fellows to help develop their skills and abilities, and to expose them to the agency as a whole.
- Partners are encouraged to provide training opportunities to the fellows.
- Additional expectations and policies are included in the Community Partner Handbook.
