In 2019, these four high schoolers from Orange County participated in the highly selective Bank of America program that provides summer leadership training and service opportunities.

Locally, dozens of Orange County students have been selected to participate in the exclusive program that connects like-minded scholars from across the country and recognizes high school students who lead and serve in their own communities and beyond.
