Sheikh Hasina Youth Volunteer Award 2022

Korvi Rakshand, Founder of JAAGO Foundation and Volunteer for Bangladesh, received the Sheikh Hasina Youth Volunteer Award 2022 in recognition of his contribution to education, science and technology and youth volunteerism in Bangladesh.

The award was presented at Osmani Smriti Auditorium by Md Zahid Ahsan Russel, then State Minister for Youth and Sports. The programme was organised by the Ministry of Youth and Sports, and was joined by the then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina virtually.

The award recognised individuals making significant contributions through volunteerism and social initiatives. Eleven individuals were recognised across different areas of social contribution in the 2022 edition.

Korvi's recognition reflected the work of JAAGO Foundation and Volunteer for Bangladesh in expanding educational opportunities and creating platforms through which young people can participate in community service and civic action.

Volunteer for Bangladesh was established to enable young people from across the country to take leadership in addressing challenges within their own communities. Through volunteer-led initiatives, youth have participated in education, health, climate action, emergency response and other areas of community development.

JAAGO Foundation welcomes recognition of the contribution young volunteers make to Bangladesh and remains committed to creating inclusive opportunities for young people to develop their leadership and serve their communities.
