Bank of America Offering Paid Interships To High School Students Through Student Leadership Program

ALEXANDRIA, VA – Bank of America wants to change lives. Since 2004, their Student Leadership® program has provided junior and senior high school students with a unique opportunity to make a difference in their communities. Participants in the program work an eight-week paid internship over summer at a local nonprofit that offers real-world work experience.

Only five individuals are selected from the Greater Washington area annually, and they are among the 300 Student Leaders selected nationwide.  The program concludes with the Student Leaders Summit from July 25-30 in Washington, D.C. The week-long event is an all-expenses-paid trip to meet like-minded individuals who strive to better their communities.

The program, according to the Bank of America website, is “part of our ongoing commitment to youth employment and economic mobility. We’re helping prepare a diverse pipeline of community-minded young students to be successful in the workforce through leadership training and work experience.”
