If you are a junior or senior in high school, and you are committed to making a positive impact in your community, Bank of America Charitable Foundation has an opportunity for you.
The Student Leaders® Program allows students to connect with other community-minded students and experience how nonprofits, business and government can cooperate to improve 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 2012 eight-week paid internship with selected nonprofit organizations 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.
- A week-long all-expense paid Student Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C., July 15-20. 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.
Juniors and seniors: apply by January 25, 2012.
