Student Leaders sought

Civic-minded high school students in the South Bay have until today to apply for Bank of America’s Student Leaders program, which offers paid summer internships at local nonprofits.

Bofa selects five community-driven high school juniors and seniors in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties to participate in the annual program. Nonprofits where Student Leaders have held their internships in past years include Lifemoves, West Valley Community Services and Silicon Valley Education Foundation.

This summer the students will work with Caminar and other nonprofits.

The Student Leaders program is part of the bank’s investment into workforce development for young adults and others from disadvantaged backgrounds who may not otherwise get exposure to job and leadership experience.
