Bank of America is accepting applications for its Student Leaders program through Jan. 17.
Student Leaders is an eight-week paid internship that pairs selected students with one of the bank’s local nonprofit partners to learn firsthand about the needs of community and the role nonprofits play.
They will also attend an all-expense paid leadership summit in Washington, D.C., to learn how government, business, and the nonprofit sector work together to address critical community needs.
Last summer, four North Texas-based Student Leaders worked with Ronald McDonald House of Tarrant County, United Way of Tarrant County, and Hope Farm to support their initiatives in the community.
Students must be a junior or senior in high school to qualify. They must also be available to work 35 hours a week at a local nonprofit or charitable organization over the eight weeks; and be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship through the end of September 2024.
For a complete list of prerequisites, go here.
Selected students can expect their internship to begin shortly after the end of your school year and run eight weeks, including the leadership summit in D.C., July 22-27.
Bank of America launched the program in 2004. Since then thousands of students have worked with nonprofit organizations and been exposed to skills development and service, and connected with employment.
