Our Founding Purpose.

Youth organizations across Bangladesh's districts and divisions rarely spoke with a unified voice. Their efforts were scattered, limiting reach and visibility. BYC exists to close that gap.

BYC connects these organizations, creates space for coordination and joint planning, and amplifies their collective voice, transforming scattered efforts into a cohesive movement for social and climate justice.

Mission

Empower youth and youth-led organizations to engage in advocacy, share resources, and strengthen capacity, building a unified network with local authorities, policymakers, and communities.

Vision

A nation where youth are empowered to lead, influence policy, and drive sustainable change: a future of collective progress and inclusion.
