NEW YORK–Standard Chartered today announced its partnership with Leadership Enterprise for a Diverse America (LEDA), a national non-profit organization that empowers a community of exceptional young leaders from under-resourced backgrounds by supporting their higher education and professional success in order to create a more inclusive and equitable country.
In addition to a USD $100,000 donation to support LEDA, the partnership will include multiple avenues for the Bank to engage LEDA’s community of young leaders. Through Standard Chartered’s employee volunteering program, staff will have opportunities to mentor students as they navigate their college and career pathways; engage with the LEDA community via exciting leadership and finance career panels; and support college Scholars, Career Fellows, and alumni with their networking, resume writing, and interview skills.
