In Rhode Island, Bank of America provides financial and volunteer support to community partners, which expand access to affordable housing, food security and healthcare for our neighbors in need.
We also proudly sponsor education, leadership development, upskilling and internship placement programs that connect unemployed and underemployed members of our community with sustainable careers at the bank and beyond. To foster growth within the state’s small business sector, we provide mentorship to entrepreneurs from diverse and underserved communities.
At Bank of America, we’re committed to addressing the root causes of inequality through a company-wide commitment to advancing racial equality and economic opportunity across diverse communities. We are doing this by building upon our existing efforts and leveraging our strengths: creating more affordable housing and expanding home ownership, increasing lending and support to minority-owned small businesses, championing job training and career readiness and addressing health disparities like access to care. We also know we can’t solve these challenges alone, so we’re partnering with other corporations, local nonprofits and community leaders across the country who share our vision for creating meaningful change.
The job skills gap has disproportionately affected Black and Latino individuals – and this disparity has been compounded by the coronavirus. To help address this gap, Bank of America works with local nonprofits, employers and broader networks across the country to support skills-training programs that meet the specific workforce demands of local communities. The result is a diverse talent pipeline for employers – and a clear path to employment for individuals.
