Bankwell Sponsors LiveGirl and Welcomes SHE WORKS Summer Interns

Bankwell continues their longstanding partnership with LiveGirl, a Connecticut-based nonprofit organization that helps develop the next generation of diverse, brave, female leaders. Their programs are proven to build self-esteem, social emotional intelligence, and career readiness.

Bankwell supports their SHE WORKS program, which helps young women with career-readiness skills and connects them to internships at companies with strong female leadership. This year’s group is comprised of 100 brilliant, diverse, college-aged women, including 74% women of color. Bankwell hired paid interns for this summer’s program.

Courtney Biernesser, Bankwell’s Director of Human Resources, states, “We are thrilled that SHE WORKS interns have joined us! What better career experience for them than to be part of a high performing, diverse organization where they will witness women leadership in action. We’re excited about working together and learning from one another.”
