Providing Inspiration and Tools for Tomorrow’s Leaders

Preparing high school students for leadership is an essential component of our community investments. We also recognize the pressing issue of finding youth employment as large numbers of young people search for work experience that will translate into long-term success.

Our Student Leaders^® program connects young leaders with employment that helps to give them the necessary tools and resources they need to advance. Through the Student Leaders^®program, we recognize high school juniors and seniors who step outside of the classroom to contribute service in their own communities and beyond. Student Leaders^® are awarded paid summer internships with local nonprofit organizations and participate in a Student Leadership Summit held in Washington, D.C.
