Apply today for 2016 Bank of America Student Leaders program

The Bank of America Charitable Foundation’s Student Leaders® Program, back for the 12th year in the St. Louis region, is accepting applications for the 2016 Student Leaders® program and current junior and senior high school students in Eureka & Wildwood are encouraged to apply!

Through the Student Leaders program, Bank of America recognizes high school juniors and seniors who step outside the classroom to contribute service in their own communities and beyond. 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 10-15, 2016. 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.
