Since 2010, Bank of America has funded 20,000 jobs for youth across the country. Building on our commitment to youth employment, Bank of America convened a coalition of partners in sports, including MLB, NFL, Chicago Marathon, and Roval 400, as well as nonprofit partners, to level the playing field by connecting young people, predominantly from communities of color, to meaningful job, skills-building, networking, and mentorship opportunities – aligning with our broader commitment to advance racial equality and economic opportunity in our local communities.
In places like Charlotte, Atlanta, San Francisco and Chicago, Bank of America joined forces with select sports organizations, including MLB and NFL teams and the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, to connect young people with paid internships and mentors in the field to help guide future success.
