Bank of America Student Leaders Program
2024 Student Leaders® Deadline January 17, 2024
Providing the tools to help tomorrow’s leaders succeed
Since 2004, Student Leaders® has been part of our ongoing commitment to youth employment and economic mobility. We’re helping prepare a diverse pipeline of community-minded young students to be successful in the workforce through leadership training and work experience.
Opportunity to serve, inspire, change
Every year, hundreds of community-minded high schoolers are accepted into the Student Leaders program. They get first-hand experience in serving their communities through a paid eight-week internship with nonprofits like Boys and Girls Clubs of America and Habitat for Humanity.
They also get to see how nonprofits, governments and businesses collaborate to meet local needs by participating in the national Student Leaders Summit in Washington, D.C. Many of the students use their new-found skills to create more change and improve more lives, with inspiring stories of enthusiasm and commitment.

Canvas Directions for Parents
CANVAS Directions for Parents
- Ask your student to log into Canvas.
- Once in, look at the vertical navigation bar on the left side of the screen and click on "Account" at the top.
- Click on "Settings" from the pop out menu.
- Once in Settings, there will be a button that says "Pair with an observer" on the right;
- Click on it and copy the code.
- Open a new tab and go to https://leonschools.instructure.com/login/canvas, then select the very tiny link for "Parent of a Canvas User? Click Here For an Account" in the upper right-hand corner.
- Fill in your name, email, and password and then paste the code you received from Canvas into the last textbox.
- You're done! Once you have the computer account set up, you can add the Canvas Parent app to your phone in no time. This will enable you to see your child's agendas in all classes ("Calendar" link) and ensure all work is completed/submitted ("Grades" tab) on the fly. Be advised that Focus is the place to see your child's official grades, but Canvas is the best way to see "why."
All our best,
LEON GUIDANCE
