Bangladesh Youth Leadership Center"Bangladesh," said Assistant Secretary Blake, "has a well-earned reputation for its active civil society and volunteerism. A case in point is Korvi Rakshand. He participated in the United States' International Visitor Leadership Program, was inspired by AmeriCorps, and created JAAGO in 2007. This organization strives to bring education to children living in slums.
At first, he began his work on an individual basis, and then was joined by a few friends. Now JAAGO runs two schools, with another set to open very soon. Korvi went on to launch Volunteer for Bangladesh in 2011, which now consists of a network of 7,000 volunteers across the country.
Another young activist is Ejaj Ahmed. He founded the Bangladesh Youth Leadership Center in 2008. This organization encourages young people to take the lead in addressing problems in their country. The Bangladesh Youth Leadership Center brings together young people from diverse religious, ethnic, and educational backgrounds to learn how to work together to solve problems.
The United States is proud to support organizations like Volunteer for Bangladesh and JAAGO, the Bangladesh Youth Leadership Center, among others. These organizations help people reach their potential as dynamic leaders, and engage citizens working for their community, their country and their world. |
