WHS grad is attending leadership institute in D.C.
This summer, Patrick McCarthy, a recent Washougal High School graduate, will be joining more than 200 of his peers from across the nation to participate in Bank of America's Student Leaders program. McCarthy has participated in the Presidential and Governor's Award Planning Committee, American Cancer Society "Relay for Life", Red Cross Club and Share House. As teens are searching for ways to spend their summers in a down economy, Bank of America is investing $1 million in paid, eight-week summer internships for students at community nonprofits in 44 neighborhoods across the country. McCarthy is spending his summer in Portland, at the Evergreen Habitat for Humanity site. In addition to the paid internship, he is attending Bank of America's weeklong Student Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. this week.
