Building Bridges through Outreach Leadership Development
Inspired by the values of the B Corp community to “build bridges,” ‘B’ BOLD is a new initiative created by Clearinghouse CDFI to empower and develop the next generation. Clearinghouse CDFI, with the support and generosity of its community partners, has created a summer internship program for college-bound high school juniors and seniors from low-income families.
The purpose of the program is to invest in tomorrow’s leaders. Interns will gain exposure to a professional setting, receive real life job skills, and access to positive role models. The Allen Peters Baldwin ‘B’ BOLD Internship Program will help empower youths from low-income areas that do not have access to the same resources and opportunities.
Clearinghouse CDFI believes it is important to build a bridge to the next generation so that tomorrow’s leaders will continue to build mission driven businesses.
