Youth Engagement For Sustainability Bangladesh

Youth Engagement For Sustainability Bangladesh The event brought together 256 former NCTF members from across the country.

Youth Engagement for Sustainability (YES) Bangladesh-a platform led by young people, for young people, rooted in the dream of building a just, inclusive, and empowered society. Youth Engagement for Sustainability (YES) Bangladesh is a nationwide youth-led, non-profit, and non-governmental organization officially initiated on 25 July 2018. It was established to create a platform for children, young

people—especially women—who were formerly involved with the National Children’s Task Force (NCTF), Bangladesh, a prominent child-led organization. The idea of YES Bangladesh took root during a three-day workshop held from May 3–5, 2018, at Rangamati Waterfront Resort in Gazipur, organized by Plan International Bangladesh. These passionate young leaders recognized the need for a dedicated platform where they could continue their advocacy and development work beyond their roles in NCTF. In this historic gathering, participants collectively envisioned a new organization that would amplify the voices of children, adolescents, and youth—particularly girls and young women. They agreed that YES Bangladesh would serve as a safe and inclusive space where young people could freely share their ideas, express their experiences, and advocate for social change. The founding members set several core aims for YES Bangladesh:

Empower young people through capacity building on critical issues such as gender equality, climate change and action, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and life skills development. Foster leadership and active citizenship, enabling youth to become change agents in their communities. Unite adolescents and young people under one umbrella, promoting collaboration with like-minded youth activists, networks, and organizations. Advocate for policy reform, especially in areas directly affecting children and youth, such as the Child Marriage Restraint Act 2017 and other youth-related national policies. With continued technical and moral support from Plan International Bangladesh, YES Bangladesh has grown into an independent and dynamic youth-led organization. It is now actively working to mobilize young people across the country to lead sustainable development initiatives, challenge harmful social norms, and influence policymaking processes for a just and equitable society

প্রচণ্ড শীতে যখন অসহায় মানুষগুলো কাঁপছে, ঠিক তখনই মানবিকতার হাত বাড়িয়ে দিয়েছে ইয়েস বাংলাদেশ নোয়াখালী জেলা। নোয়াখালী জেলা জুড়ে শীতার্ত মানুষের পাশে দাঁড়িয়ে ভালোবাসা, সহমর্মিতা ও মানবিকতার বার্তা পৌঁছে দিয়েছে এই মহৎ উদ্যোগ।

তীব্র শীত উপেক্ষা করে গভীর রাতে নোয়াখালীর বিভিন্ন এলাকায় ছড়িয়ে থাকা শীতার্ত মানুষদের কাছে পৌঁছে যান টিমের সদস্যরা। যারা শীতবস্ত্রের অভাবে খোলা আকাশের নিচে রাত কাটাতে বাধ্য হচ্ছিল, তাদের হাতে হাতে তুলে দেওয়া হয় শীতবস্ত্র সাথে ছিল উষ্ণতা, সহানুভূতি আর মানবিক স্পর্শ।

এই মানবিক কার্যক্রমে উপস্থিত ছিলেন সভাপতি নাজিব আহমেদ নাবিল, সহ-সভাপতি নাহিদ হাসান নিলয়, সাংগঠনিক সম্পাদক মেহেদী হাসান এবং প্রচার ও প্রকাশনা সম্পাদক মেহরাব হোসেন সায়েম।

এই উদ্যোগ শুধু শীত নিবারণের মধ্যেই সীমাবদ্ধ নয়—এটি মানুষের পাশে দাঁড়ানোর দায়িত্ববোধ, সামাজিক সচেতনতা ও মানবতার এক নীরব কিন্তু শক্তিশালী ঘোষণা।
