Applications Now Open for the 2016 Bank of America Student Leaders Program

Bank of America is seeking high school juniors and seniors who are active in their communities to apply for the 2016 Bank of America Student Leaders Program before the Jan. 29 deadline.

Each year through the Student Leaders Program, Bank of America awards teens who have demonstrated leadership qualities with a paid eight-week summer internship with local nonprofit Focus: HOPE. In addition, students will participate in Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C., with other student leaders from around the nation.

Through the internship and summit, these young leaders have the opportunity to network with like-minded individuals who share their passions while discovering their own talents for serving their community and leading others.

During their time at Focus: HOPE, the students will help aid their communities through hands-on experience with early childhood education, food and career training programs. Be sure to explore the Focus: HOPE website to see just some of the great work the organization is doing in metro Detroit.

The application for the 2016 Student Leaders program is now open to high school students in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne Counties who are looking to make a positive difference in their own lives and impact their communities. Make sure to fill out the application before Jan. 29, 2016.
