Bank of America Student Leaders Program Accepting Applications for 2017

Since its inception in 2005, the Bank of America Student Leaders Program® has recognized more than 2,300 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 a nonprofit organization 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 Leaders Summit in Washington, D.C. from July 9-14, 2017. 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.

 
The Bank of America Charitable Foundation’s Student Leaders® Program is now accepting applications for the 2017 Student Leaders® program.

Students can apply for the program by going to www.bankofamerica.com/studentleaders. Please note the application is open now with a deadline of January 27, 2017. There will be no deadline extensions.
