Bank of America Student Leaders Program
High school juniors or seniors who have a passion for improving the community are encouraged to apply.

The program is part of the bank’s investment in youth and young adults by helping them obtain work and leadership experience, while making a difference in their communities.
California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls Youth Advisory Council
