President, Bank of America Charitable Foundation
AUDIO - Kerry Sullivan: For more than fifteen years, we’ve invested in The Student Leaders Program. These young people get a paid internship for eight weeks in a nonprofit that’s addressing some of the issues in their community. They then all come to DC for Student Leaders Summit where they look at the connection between business, nonprofits and government and how we work together to solve problems. And they go to the hill they meet with the congressional group from their district to talk about the issues in their community, and what they want to see addressed. And they come back from DC with a renewed interest in how they can really use their voice to change the world.
