Let’s build something together
In the Air Capital of the World, Bank of America has committed to supporting job creation through partnerships with academic institutions, community development agencies and nonprofit organizations that provide pathways to employment within the area's strong aerospace, healthcare and manufacturing sectors.
To assist the growth of Wichita’s vital small business community, we also provide access to funding and mentorship for women-led ventures and entrepreneurs from low-income communities. To support our neighbors in need, our team has proudly sponsored and offered volunteer support to organizations, which focus on food insecurity as well as access to affordable housing and healthcare within Black and Hispanic communities.
Every first job is essential
Teen summer employment has been declining since 1998, a trend that the Workforce Alliance of South Central Kansas has been working to combat for more than a decade, through programs supporting work experiences for young people. Since 2009, partnerships established by the Alliance have helped to connect students with jobs and gain workplace exposure, with a focus on Wichita neighborhoods with some of the highest poverty rates.
Racial equality and economic opportunity
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 power of the arts
At Bank of America, we believe in the power of the arts to help economies thrive, educate and enrich societies, and create greater cultural understanding. That’s why we’re helping the arts flourish in communities across the globe.
