Stories of Impact: 2025 Bank of America Student Leaders®
This National Intern Day, we’re spotlighting two local, student changemakers-Kaiya Hall and Camdyn Jones-who just wrapped up an inspiring 7-week experience with Goodwill Southeast Georgia through the 2025 Bank of America Student Leaders® program.
As a capstone to their summer journey, Kaiya and Camdyn traveled to Washington, D.C. last week for a week-long, all-expenses-paid national leadership summit organized by Bank of America. There, they connected with fellow Student Leaders® from across the country.
Now, Kaiya is heading to college to study public relations, while Camdyn, a rising high school senior, plans to pursue marketing, and make a positive impact on the community through pursuing environmental and nonprofit opportunities. During their time in the Bank of America Student Leaders® program, they sharpened their skills in leadership, workforce development, marketing, and content creation.
One of their favorite experiences? A hands-on day at Goodwill Southeast Georgia’s Eisenhower retail store, where they learned the full journey of a donation. They explored the process from drop-off to the sales floor-and how every step supports Goodwill’s Opportunity Centers, where people can receive free skills training and career development services.
