Project Summary

Bangladesh has a significant youth population, yet many young people feel disconnected from civic responsibilities and community leadership due to a lack of awareness. The JAAGO Foundation aims to address this through a youth-driven initiative focused on civic education, leadership, and responsible participation in community development.

This initiative builds on JAAGO’s long-standing efforts in educating youth on social responsibility, leadership, and governance awareness across all 64 districts of Bangladesh. By equipping young individuals with the knowledge and skills to engage meaningfully in their communities, the project fosters an informed and active generation committed to social progress.

Through training workshops, community-led action projects, and social awareness campaigns, the initiative empowers youth to take leadership roles in their localities. Participants receive civic education training, focusing on governance, accountability, and leadership, enabling them to design and implement community engagement projects.

To amplify the impact, trained youth leaders initiate localized awareness activities in their respective communities, sparking discussions on civic responsibility and engagement. Additionally, an online content strategy helps disseminate youth perspectives and educational materials, broadening the outreach beyond physical workshops.

Beyond these activities, selected youth leaders receive advanced training in leadership and civic education, equipping them with the tools to mentor others and create long-term impact in their regions. With a strong emphasis on education, leadership, and responsible citizenship, the initiative encourages youth to actively contribute to their communities and the broader development of Bangladesh.
