Bank of America Student Leaders Program



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.

 Students can apply for the program by going to www.bankofamerica.com/studentleaders. Please note the application deadline of January 25, 2013.
