The Bank of America Charitable Foundation’s Student Leaders®
Program is accepting applications for the 2013 program.
Since its inception in 2004, the Bank of America Student
Leaders Program has recognized more than 1,800 exemplary high school juniors
and seniors who have a passion for improving their communities. The
program helps students gain a greater understanding of how nonprofits create
impact in the community and helps develop them as the next generation of
community leaders through two components:
·
A summer eight-week paid internship with
Communities In Schools. Communities In Schools is a local non-profit
selected by the bank. This internship is designed to provide opportunities for
the students to develop and apply leadership skills through hands-on work
experience, while raising their awareness of community issues addressed by
their Host Organization.
·
The week-long, all-expense paid Student
Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. from July 8-12, 2013. Conducted in
partnership with the Close Up Foundation, the Summit introduces students to
aspects of civic, social and business leadership and provides them with
knowledge and skills they will use throughout their life to create positive
community change.
In order to spread the word about the opportunity to your
members, partners, and affiliates, please distribute the email. If you would
like to receive an electronic announcement, please contact us and we will send
