As part of their award, the selected high school juniors and seniors are heading to Washington, D.C. July 18-23 for the Bank of America Charitable Foundation's week-long Student Leadership Summit.

The summit aims to inspire students, who are already answering the nation's call to service, to continue serving their communities. In addition to attending the summit, Student Leaders participate in eight-week nonprofit internships, paid for by Bank of America, at organizations in their local communities.

CHW's Community Grants Program is funded by contributions from its member hospitals.
