Bank of America Student Leader

Juliana Lederman

For the second consecutive year, the Boys and Girls Club of Lynn received a grant from Bank of America's Student Leader program.

​

The program connects 230 community-minded high school juniors and seniors to employment, skills development and service. Partnerships with organizations such as the Boys & Girls Club of Lynn gives these young people a path for success and creates thriving communities that champion opportunities for the next generation.

​

Below is a question and answer sit down we had with Juliana.

​

Can you describe the Boys & Girls Club of Lynn's Mission?

They encourage the positive development and enhance the quality of life for youth in the Greater Lynn area.

​

Why is the Mission important to you personally?

It is important to me because of my love for children and to see that they are learning and having a fun time.

​

What are you most excited about learning at the Boys  & Girls Club? What have you learned during your intern?

I have learned a lot of leadership experiences working at Camp Creighton and teaching them science. Being a counselor is hard. It has taught me a lot about the importance of being a leader and role model, and having responsibility for others.

What was your biggest take away from the Student Leadership Summit?

My biggest take away , is that being a student doesn't mean I can't make a difference. I now feel empowered to be able to make a change in my community even if I am not an adult.

​

How did you hear about the Bank of America Student Leadership Program, and why did you want to participate?

I heard about it from a list of programs online. I wanted to participate so I could learn valuable leadership skills .

I was also interested in going to Washington, D.C.

​

At the end of you internship, what do you hope to walk away with?

I hope to walk away with the knowledge that I can make change in my community by teaching science to the members of the Boys & Girls Club. I feel I have educated them, while making it fun. The knowledge that I have and can make a difference is the most valuable thing I have learned from my experience.

​

What is your dream job?

I have a few ideas what my dream job would be. I love science and working with kids, so a science teacher is a definite possibility. I also might want to do something in medicine or bio-engineering.
