275 Young People to be Employed Through Bank of America’s Wilmington Youth Career Development Program

From: WilmToday

Wilmington’s 2022 Youth Career Development Program (YCD) helps young Wilmington residents form professional skills and prepare them for their careers. YCD recently received a $100,000 grant from Bank of America to aid in employing 275 young professionals across a wide range of career paths and internship opportunities this summer.

Bank of America also provides Better Money Habits financial literacy lessons to all YCD participants. The Better Money Habits program is run by Bank of America employees and uses interactive and fun methods to teach financial topics like budgeting, borrowing, investing, and building credit.

Wilmington Mayor Mike Purzycki gave his thoughts, saying “The continued financial commitment over the past seven years and financial literacy programming from Bank of America has been impactful for the program and our teens. We appreciate Bank of America’s generosity and continued support of the future of the City of Wilmington and our residents.”

Recipients of the grant were chosen based on their commitment to addressing basic needs and workforce development. This is a part of Bank of America’s philanthropic efforts in local communities.

Chip Rossi, President of Bank of America Delaware, commented that “The City of Wilmington’s Youth Career Development program is a long-term commitment by investing in our future workforce and working to create opportunities for youth to help them thrive. The city is advancing racial equality and economic opportunity in our community and having a tremendous positive impact on the next generation.”
