With his senior year at Franklin Military Academy fast approaching, Sgt. Maj. Kimara Davis is spending his summer honing his leadership skills. It’s not a school-based pursuit, though. Davis is getting his practice at the North Richmond branch of the YMCA, thanks to a program run by the Bank of America Charitable Foundation. He and four other area students are among 230 juniors and seniors nationwide participating in the foundation’s Neighborhood Excellence Initiative leadership program. Starting July 19, they’ll spend a week in Washington, where they’ll participate in workshops and seminars. The foundation also will fund eight-week paid internships at nonprofit groups—YMCAs, for the Richmond-area students.
