Let’s build something together

Bank of America wants to ensure everyone shares in the success of our region. We’re focused on working with nonprofits to address hunger and homelessness and help our neighbors get what they need. We support a number of programs aimed at underserved communities to assist with affordable housing and workforce development. We’re committed to overcoming generational poverty and breaking down the barriers people face in finding viable, well-paid careers. Our employment support includes an internship program for high school students that creates new pathways to employment and teaches key life skills. We also provide funds for up-skilling initiatives focusing on racially diverse communities and the formerly incarcerated. We found ways to assist working parents during the health crisis by supporting a local nonprofit that pivoted from its normal after-school activities to providing full-time childcare when schools were closed. Whatever the challenges, we remain steadfast in supporting our community.

Voyage gives young people a strong start in the workforce

The Northside of downtown Wilmington, NC has faced some tough times, including high rates of youth violence compounded by persistent poverty. To combat both, Voyage, a nonprofit that was founded in 2008 as the Blue Ribbon Commission on the Prevention of Youth Violence, offers a summer training, internship and employment program to local high school students. The program is designed to start and keep students on a career path by surrounding them with counselors and mentors.

Advancing Racial Equality and Economic Opportunity

The need for real progress on racial and economic inequality in the United States has been accentuated by the impact of the coronavirus on communities of color, and amplified by acts of injustice. We all have a role to play in helping move communities forward – an understanding that forms the foundation of Bank of America’s long-standing commitment to the people and communities it serves. And they’re at the heart of the bank’s $1.25 billion commitment over the next five years to advance racial equality and economic opportunity.
